Highlanders storming a redoubt, Battle of Tel-El-Kebir, 13 September 1882
Illustration by Stanley L. Wood (1866-1928) from a history of the Scottish People published in 1894. Info from wiki: The Battle of Tel el-Kebir or el-Tal el-Kebir was fought between the Egyptian army led by Ahmed Urabi and the British military near Tel-el-Kebir. After discontented Egyptian officers under Urabi rebelled in 1882, the United Kingdom reacted to protect its financial and expansionist interests in the country, and in particular the Suez Canal.
