Were those the Sudanese under the command of "Fighting Mac", Hector MacDonald, the ranker come general who saved Kitchener's bacon at Omdurman when Kitchener thought the battle was won and ordered his forces into marching formation for a triumphant entrance into the City, only to be attacked by several thousand Madhists hidden in a wadhi?

Hi Louis

That's the chap

There were 3 Sudanese Battalions under MacDonalds command the 9th, 10th and 11th along with the 2nd Egyptians

Here are my 10th Sudanese, all Trophy figures

Hi Louis

There wasn't an actual figure released as MacDonald, I think the closest could be one of these two

The Officer is holding the flag of the 10th Sudanese Battalion
