LOL, despite all the published material, rolls and books, he would certainly need to be in WO100/80, no, Flanagan was not present at Omdurman, but, quite frankly, it was more than expensive already, notwithstanding, still a scarce medal on a par with a 1914 star.

Sutherland drew his impression of the battle.

Didn't French comment that Elandslaagte was the first charge of the cavalry since Balaclava?

Very clearly, Mr Sutherland was not actually present on the day!

I certainly think that if he did, he was certainly badly mistaken and really should have known better.
