1939 version of The Four Feathers directed by Alexander Korda. One of the best movies ever made.

[@Waechter_im_All]

I agree! I was completely flashed when I watched it as a boy. How many times did I replay this scene with my little airfix-soldiers, some sheets of paper folded as tents an some cotton wool forming the zeriba!

[@chriscann7627]

The Korda Four Feathers is one of the greatest British films. Astonishingly, many of the Sudanese extras, especially the Beja and Hadendowa (the famous "fuzzy-wuzzies" of Kipling and Corporal Jones) were the sons and grandsons of the originals who fought at Omdurman forty years earlier.

[@thonbrocket2512]

Which demonstrates the great advantages of British imperialism. 1898: get shot by the British. 1939: get paid for pretending to be shot by the British. Progress, y'see?

The UK had a presence in Egypt to maintain control of the Suez Canal. Technically the leader of Egypt was a vassal of the Ottoman Empire (~Turkey 🇹🇷). Egypt/Ottoman Empire claimed control of Sudan. The Mahdi was a challenge to the (Muslim) Ottoman Empire whose leader was (supposed to be) the Leader of the whole Islamic world. If the Anglo-Egyptian army didn't put down the Mahdi, then it was likely the Ottoman-Turks would send an army. As long as the British kept order (and tarrifs flowing to Istanbul/Ankara) the Turks would tolerate British control over the Suez Canal. The Ottoman Empire had many problems, in particular in the Balkans, and elsewhere with the Russians. Tolerating British control of the Suez Canal benefits the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire control of Constantinople/Istanbul and the Bosphorus (outlet from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean) coveted by Russia, benefits the British.

The main advantage of Whites was the organization. Not a breavery (which is very often silly), not a best weapon. The organisation and the discipline of any formation. Soldiers and officers knew exactly what they have doing. And the trust between officers and soldiers whch was stronger as in other civilisation. Excluding Japanese people.

Very brave was the polish officer Witold Pilecki who let himself be caught by Germans and let them took him to the death camp in Auschwitz to check what Nazi are doing there.

This appears to be a portion of an early movie version of the fictional novel 'The Four Feathers.' The presentation is realistically done, with the seeming participation of genuine Sudanese to portray the Mahdi's soldiers. But I don't think any actual historical battle resembles this one. Although an Egyptian column commanded by British General Hicks early on suffered this sort of destruction, I think that no force of British soldiers like this one was overrun and defeated in this manner.

[@joebloggs5318]

I actually looked into this before commenting and didn't find any losses like this on the British/Egyptian side during the Mahdist war. Maybe the film maker knows something history doesn't? I mean obviously the siege of Khartoum was a huge defeat for the British but this battle shown here is far smaller. Khartoum lasted almost a year.

[@adrianburchell8075]

This film (and the others) were based on the 1902 novel The Four Feathers by A E W Mason, in which the British square is briefly broken but recovers. It appears that in all the film adaptations the square is destroyed except for 1924 silent version, in which Faversham and the Egyptian garrison of a fort rescues a Highlander square.

[@paladinsix9285]

The Draft was not because of the conflict in Vietnam. Draft was because of the Cold War between the USSR and the NATO nations. More draftees from the USA served in West Germany, or elsewhere in Europe. Of course some draftees served in Vietnam, but the majority of who served in Vietnam were volunteers. I have respect for all who served with honor in Vietnam. From the USA, Australia, South Korea, South Vietnam, the Philippines, New Zealand, and other allies. I am sure those who were drafted and served in Vietnam felt similar to their predecessors who served on Guadalcanal, the Philippines, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, or the Hurtigan Forest.
