Annie,

Wonderful that you have that info.  

I think I read somewhere during our busy weekend that some who were at Omdurman were sent to Khartoum .   :-\

What's next with this?

As you can see from this map, Omdurman is right next door to Khartoum..in fact on another map it shows that they are just across the river from each other.
Maybe they awarded Khartoum medals that covered the whole shebang?

Hi Girls !!

I'm not really sure where to go from here - to be honest !!  :P

My friend is trying to find information from the museum .... it would be cool to get a photo of this soldier - to see if he's the same man as in ours !!

Annie  :)

Some more useless information:

From Mr Indi's book :The History of the British Army; Charles Messenger

Re the Battle of Omdurman:
Noteworthy was a charge made by a youthful subaltern of the 4th Hussars, Winston Churchill.

I wonder if Lewis met Winnie?

And from the same book, here is a photo of a painting showing the uniforms at the battle. There is no attribution to the painting so I'm sorry but I can't give one.

Image Removed: Sorry can't find exact picture online although google images will produce similar

In one of the many links posted on Sunday, there was a picture of Churchill at Omdurman.   I noticed that the wide white band on his helmut is the same as the one on L.A. Hope's.  May be helpful.    :-\

Hi, im many years our for this but wanted to say that, Lewis A Hope was my great great grandfather, my Gran was Cecil Blackers sister (Olive'd daughter and son) and Terence and Philip Blacker are my second cousins.
