A nice Egypt Medal With Tofrek & Suakin 1885 clasps to Private 1925 H. Powell 1st Berkshire Regiment. The Egyptian campaign lasted for 7 years and not only covered Egypt but actions in the Sudan with action at Khartoum being the most famous. The Suakin 1885 clasp was awarded for skirmishes in the Suakin area whist attempting to build a Railway from Suakin to berber on the Nile. The British forces were commanded by Major General Sir Gerald Graham V.C. & was the 1st time that Australian Units were sent overseas. Major General Graham made his main camp at hasheen. Early on 22nd March 1885 General McNeill left Suakin with the intention of making fortified camps but he was ambushed at Tofrek. After initial confusion the fanatical dervish attackers were driven off thanks to the steadiness of the Royal marines & Berkshire regiment. For their distinguished conduct at this battle, the Berkshire regiment gained the prefix ‘Royal’. The clasp Tofrek is found only in conjunction with that of Suakin 1885 & owing to the small size of the force engaged, it is quite rare. The medal carries the diademed head of Queen Victoria on the obverse & reverse showing the Sphinx on a pedestal with the word Egypt above & date 1882 below. The man’s name, rank & Regiment are in sloping capitals on the rim. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 17402:14
