The Advance in the Soudan : An Alarm at Gulbab Post. 1898.

For Sale is the Front Page from "The Graphic, March 19th, 1898," showing a DRawing by Frank Dadd, from a Sketch by Major F. J. Pink for "The Advance in the Soudan : An Alarm at Gulbab Post."

Alarms are constantly practiced at all posts in the Soudan. The men, on the bugle sounding, turn out just as they are, but each man slips on his bandolier and pouches, siezes his rifle, which is always at his side at night, and mounts his place in the defence.  The chargers and mules are brought inside with their saddles thrown on.  In one of these alarms practised at Gulbab, a post twenty-one miles north of Berber, every one was at his post, fully armed, and the mules were brought inside the village walls within two minutes.

Condition is Very Good.
