Another lesser known battle - and yet one with many points to teach those who study it both in weapons and tactics as well as ideology and its effect on the Sudanese. Great read!
"Winston Churchill, in his book “The River War” called the fight at Abu Klea “The most savage and bloody action ever fought in the Sudan by British troops…”"

LTC Eric Udouj, Patton recognized this as well in WWII. I'm not altogether certain that "we" apply the lessons history teaches us, despite the fact that everyone thinks we should.
