Several serious defeats of Egyptian forces in 1884 by his forces led to a concerted British campaign in defence of Egyptian claims, but but despite a victory at El-Teb and another fierce battle at Tamaai, control could not be recovered. The British withdrew their forces to Egypt and to Khartoum, where General Gordon defended the city whilst awaiting a relief column that, beset by Mahdist attacks, arrived too late. This medal was awarded to Driver F. Hanes, of the 1st Brigade, Royal Artillery, for participation in the Battle of Tamaai. Lester Watson acquired the medal at some point before 1928. reference exhibition-2271 adlib-exhibition-2271 605a8492-3164-31f4-a420-511eba2bdb91 Images of Empire: The British Empire on 19th century medals 12 reference exhibition-1967 adlib-exhibition-1967 6984c1c2-8fb8-37f2-bc1e-13468b4a0475 Imagery of War CM.1226-2009 1 accession number CM.1226-2009 141320 priref 141320 Watson Catalogue 120 ordering M-0109 previous object number LW.0109 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141320 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141320 Bust of Victoria facing left with veil obverse VICTORIA REGINA ET IMPERATRIX design Sphynx on pedestal facing left reverse EGYPT design reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Given by Lester Watson through Cambridge in America, 2009 reference agent-206432 adlib-agent-206432 e0b1da8e-f9e4-30be-9257-f82c89d45afb Watson, Lester 2009 2009 2009 given on loan to the Fitzwilliam Museum 2005-2009 1884 1884 CE 1884 1884 1890 1 1890 CE 1890 1890 mint reference agent-151458 adlib-agent-151458 eaf43d27-c4d5-3357-b79a-b169ccbb73ec Birmingham artist reference agent-147914 adlib-agent-147914 5137dfbe-da76-3132-b042-fd9281d2df44 Wyon, Leonard Charles artist reference agent-174963 adlib-agent-174963 55c44f19-4249-34f9-a321-1ce958c8d09a Pinches, John ruler reference agent-151398 adlib-agent-151398 bb2cd0a1-0a27-3787-a684-475d3b199972 Victoria (1837-1901) with the title of ruler reference agent-174945 adlib-agent-174945 53c52c53-979d-3cdf-9a0b-6b7b691fe2dd Victoria regina et imperatrix reference term-107687 adlib-term-107687 61b7b4a0-65d8-3856-9253-f53f17d65f43 Soho mint Birmingham reference term-39778 adlib-term-39778 8bd60ed6-968d-3faf-8ad5-b4e4ee9bb245 silver Diameter mm 36.2 Weight g 38.45 reference media-116191 adlib-media-116191 947429c3-1949-3729-8414-8dbbbd3c4da0 jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0109_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 165 1742589700132 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0109_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 165 1742589700132 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0109_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 165 1742589700132 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0109_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 165 1742589700132 1 image 0 media image reference media-116192 adlib-media-116192 aa83b151-e58e-3e97-9321-f926cc877b20 jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0109_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 163 1742589800243 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0109_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 163 1742589800243 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0109_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 163 1742589800243 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0109_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 163 1742589800243 1 image 1 media image reference term-122837 adlib-term-122837 29ba868f-b2d3-3042-8e77-4d2ec5f29ce3 Egyptian Medal denomination reference term-98222 adlib-term-98222 b5ccc43a-7491-344e-b6ca-5df39a11c50e medals series reference term-108659 adlib-term-108659 cc732dec-4543-389e-a737-cf22bb7d2ee2 Military subseries reference term-107681 adlib-term-107681 e80da827-45c6-3b71-a3ef-28794a05e4a8 Britain subsubseries reference term-122717 adlib-term-122717 140af9ad-d215-34d9-9d42-52ecb5d3fead British Army subsubsubseries history note Gift of L.
