Battle of Tel-El-Kebir 1882
Illustration from a History of England published 1912 after the painting by John Charlton (1849–1917) 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.
