Red Sea Gazette 11. Stroker takes it in hand.




















































Deployment differences are noted.  The Rajputs deploy in a tight Battalion square. 
The Teesdales deploy in a series of spaced out columns - too spaced out?


The Composite battalion deploy in two lines.  



The Hadendowah team.  Major Pea displays his inner Beja.

The Queen's Own, about to be massacred.

The Naval Brigade.  Some sailor on camel action.

The Midsomers, using an advance in a series of lines.



Impetuous camelry.  After eating the sailors they charge the Teesdales.  


Captain Peacock stands his ground. 
three times  he sees off tribal infantry hand to hand.
Meanwhile Lieutenant Farthingdale
is cut down by the Bejas. 

Seaman Stains and Master Bates are the last sailors standing.
Both were to perish, sacrificed by Major Whynott.




The enemy swarm around the Midsommers,
as the Islanders support them.



The Correspondent watches as Lt Farthingdale falls.

Seaman Staines and Master Bates wish they were back aboard

Captain Barking-Madly and his gun knock that damn village down.

The Teesdales remain static

Leaving the ruins of Handjub to the Dervish
the Rajputs follow North West Frontier policy,
and withdraw objective achieved.
"The most successful thing we`ve done all game.."



The Midsomers and the Fellaheen of Ali Bongo
hold onto the well.  Objective achieved.



"Ali Bongo" by Mr Kipling

Ali Bongo,
from the Congo,
he's no drongo,
drinks Umbongo...

Bongo Bongo, Ali Bongo,
he's been known to do a tango,
Sometimes even wears a poncho
and for his breakfast he eats mango.

Bongo Bongo Ali Bongo,
he's a Hero, just like Tonto,
wants to live in far Toronto
Handsome as his pal Great Gonzo

Bongo, Bongo, Ali Bongo
finishing this poem real pronto...
