Coming Soon...The Abyssinian Expedition 1868
Just putting finishing touches to my next video, which explores the British military expedition to Abyssinia (Ethiopia) to free some British subjects being held captive in the fortress at Magdala.
The campaign, commanded by General Sir Robert Napier, is often held up as a logistical master class.
And, once more, Harry Flashman makes an appearance.
Coming soon...
