專家說明

These tunics were worn by the besieging Mahdi troops during the battle for Khartoum. They were led by the Mahdi Muhammad Ahmad against a defending army of 7000 loyal Sudanese troops under General Charles George Gordon. The siege lasted from March 13, 1884 to January 26, 1885. After a ten-month siege, the Mahdists finally broke into the city and the entire garrison was killed.
