 | Khartoum (1966) British discuss Hicks defeat - 2 of 11 - Khartoum - Movie 1966 - Part 2 of 11. British cabinet discuss cause of defeat at Battle of El Obeid where Anglo-Egyptian force under British Colonel William Hicks was ambushed and destroyed by Mahdist forces under Muhammad Ahmad in November 1883. - Battle of El Obeid The Battle of El Obeid was fought between Anglo-Egyptian forces under the command of Hicks Pasha and forces of Mohammed Ahmed, the self-proclaimed Mahdi, on a plain near the town of Al Ubayyid (El Obeid) on November 3rd-5th, 1883. After the Mahdi retreated into Kordofan in 1881 he started to raise an army there and in Darfur. A force of 4,000 was sent to capture him, but it was ambushed near El Obeid and destroyed, and all of its equipment captured. The Mahdi's forces had grown spectacularly, and by 1883 British sources placed their size at 200,000, although that is almost certainly an overestimate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_El_Obeid William Hicks - Colonel - also known as Hicks Pasha, (1830 - 1883), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hicks Siege of Khartoum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Khartoum Charles George Gordon - Major-General - known as Chinese Gordon, Gordon Pasha, and Gordon of Khartoum, was a British army officer and administrator.

 | Khartoum (1966) - Hicks Expedition Destroyed - 1 of 11 - Khartoum - Movie 1966 - Part 1 of 11 - Opening scene - Hicks Expedition destroyed on their way to recapture El Obeid - Anglo-Egyptian force under British Colonel William Hicks is ambushed and destroyed by Mahdist forces under Muhammad Ahmad in November 1883. - The Hicks Expedition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdist_War#The_Hicks_Expedition With the Egyptian government now passing largely under British control (See History of modern Egypt), the European powers became increasingly aware of the troubles in the Sudan. The British advisers to the Egyptian government gave tacit consent for another expedition. Throughout the summer of 1883, Egyptian troops were concentrated at Khartoum, eventually reaching the strength of 7,000 infantry, 1,000 cavalry, 20 machine guns, and artillery. This force was placed under the command of a retired British Indian Staff Corps officer William Hicks and twelve European officers. The force was, in the words of Winston Churchill, "perhaps the worst army that has ever marched to war"[7] - unpaid, untrained, undisciplined and whose soldiers had more in common with their enemies than their officers. El Obeid, the city whose siege Hicks had intended to relieve, had already fallen by the time the expedition left Khartoum, but Hicks continued anyway, although not confident of his chances of success. Upon his approach, the Mahdi assembled an army of about 40,000 men and drilled them rigorously in the art of war, equipping them with the arms and ammunition captured in previous battles. By the time Hicks' forces actually offered battle, the Mahdist army was a credible military force, which utterly annihilated the opposition at the battle of El Obeid.[8] Mahdist War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mahdist_War Mahdist War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdist_War Battles of the Mahdist War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Battles_of_the_Mahdist_War Siege of Khartoum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Khartoum Siege of Khartoum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdist_War#Siege_of_Khartoum Charles George Gordon - Major-General - known as Chinese Gordon, Gordon Pasha, and Gordon of Khartoum, was a British army officer and administrator.

The film postulates a meeting between the Prime Minister, Mr Gladstone (correctly shown wearing a finger-stall to cover a finger lost in a shooting accident as a young man), and other officials, which Gladstone ends by declaring never to have taken place. In a shortened and simplified way the film shows how Khartoum was under siege by the Mahdist army while General Gordon had been planning last strategies before Khartoum fell and he was killed in action. The secret meeting between Gordon and the Mahdi in the Mahdist camp, as portrayed in the film, is entirely fictional. The final shot of Gordon descending a staircase before being speared to death, is based on a famous painting.
