This book provides context for the involvement of Australia's colonial military forces in Britain's Egyptian campaigns between 1883 and 1885. The sending of the contingent was seen as an important demonstration of Australian nationalism at the time and was our first real military engagement abroad. This was a short campaign for Australia, five months overall, and as a result they had little impact on the conflict.
