[edit] Commanders

Urabi was captured on Battle of Tel el-Kebir (1882) and exiled to the British colony of Ceylon, where he spent the rest of his life. He cannot be the Commander here.de:Benutzer:DAJ

[edit] Urabi Revolt

Isn't this battle part of the Mahdist jihad? How does that tie in with the Urabe Revolt? Neither article mentions the other--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 01:48, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "The four feathers" is no good reference

The movie "The four feathers", that is the remake of 2002, does not show this battle accurately. In fact, in this movie, the English are defeated by the Mahdist forces, but history records otherwise. In the movie "Khartoum" from 1966, with Charlton Heston playing a very convincing General Gordon, the battle is shown just like it happened: the Camel Corps defeated the Mahdist forces and continued to move on Khartoum, but unfortunately they arrived two days late to save the city.87.67.31.246 (talk) 10:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
