Battle of Tel-El-Kebir, carrying the Egyptian trenches, 13 September 1882
Illustration by William Barnes Wollen (1857–1936) from The Life and Times of Queen Victoria published circa 1901. 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.
