The SS KHARTOUM comic book
1880 Preparing for the first Tourists of the season
The Tourists arrive and prepare to leave for their unforgettable Nile trip
1882, The War in Egypt begins, and the SS KHARTOUM has become a troop transporter, first moving The Post Office Rifles
Next it's the turn of The Scots Guards
And The Black Watch
Finally the SS KHARTOUM becomes the home of the Naval Brigade until cessation of hostilities following Tel El-Kebir and the fall of Cairo
Peace in the Nile region is short lived and the SS KHARTOUM becomes part of the ill-fated Nile Expedition in the attempt to rescue Gordon at Khartoum. This time she is converted into a fully armoured steamer
