BATTLE OF TAMAI

The Battle of Tamai was an engagement during the Sudanese campaign in 1884 between the British under Sir Gerald Graham and the Arabs. The British located an Arab force forming part of Osman Digna's levies in a ravine at Tamai. In the attack on the Arabs the first British square was broken, but the village was captured with a British loss of about 200 killed and wounded. The village of Tamai was subsequently abandoned and recaptured a few months later.
