EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Khartoum Expedition, Gakdul Wells, on the Desert March, passing Water down to the Troops from the Upper Well" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Walter Paget in 1885 for The Illustrated London News, this illustration offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced during the Mahdist War. In this scene, we witness an essential act of camaraderie and survival as troops march through the unforgiving desert. The soldiers form a human chain to pass water supplies from the upper well down to their comrades below. Their determination is palpable as they navigate treacherous terrain and scorching temperatures. Paget's attention to detail transports us back in time; we can almost feel the weight of exhaustion on their faces and sense their reliance on each other for sustenance. This image serves as a testament to both resilience and unity amidst adversity. "The Khartoum Expedition" reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought in distant lands for causes greater than themselves. It stands as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity and our ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges when working together towards a common goal. As we gaze upon this historical print, let it serve as an inspiration for us all – that even in our darkest moments, there is strength in unity and hope within ourselves.
