The March to Magdala 1868:
An account of one of the most expensive British military
expedition against Emperor Tedros. The Bademe War was described by the western media
as the war for honour, but the British carried out wars for the sake of honour,
too. The march to Magdala was to save the honor of the British Empire and
intended to release the British Counsil, other British and western hostages
hold by the King. The account was
written by the war correspondent, of the British Newspaper, “Standard”, G.A. Henty. It was during this period the first rail was
laid in Eritrea to transport heavy
equipment. About 13,000 mainly Indian troops gathered an impressive array of artillery, with 3,000
horses, 16,000 mules and ponies, 5,000 oxen, 8,000 camels and 44 elephants
