A 21st Lancer's descriptive and sometimes graphic diary of the decisive Battle of Omdurman and his participation in one of the British Army's last full-scale cavalry charges. The charge is also famous for the involvement of Winston Churchill. Omdurman set the stage for the completion of the Anglo-Egyptian conquest of Sudan and the setting up of a colonial regime. Forces under Kitchener reached the Mahdist capital on 1 September. "On 2 September the Mahdists attacked the Anglo-Egyptian position, and were mown down by Anglo-Egyptian firepower. The result was a decisive victory and the occupation of Omdurman, accompanied by vigorous repression" (ODNB). Churchill was attached to Kitchener's force as a correspondent for the Morning Post. During the charge, "the regiment galloped by accident into a hidden ravine crammed with armed men. Churchill, who shot and killed at least three of the enemy with his Mauser pistol, was cool and courageous but lucky to survive a bout of hand-to-hand fighting in which 22 British officers and men were killed. Nevertheless he was eager to renew the charge at once" (ODNB). Herbert Robinson (b. 1875) enlisted for the Medical Services Corps in 1894 but transferred later the same year into the 21st Hussars (from 1897, the 21st Lancers). He served in India and Egypt, earning the Queen's Sudan Medal, and was promoted to sergeant in 1905. Written in a hasty pencilled hand, the diary commences on 31 July 1898, Robinson enjoying "bags of bully beef but the tea a bit off colour." Travelling by boat to Wadi Halfa, the men are in good cheer, singing and admiring the scenery, but also thinking of what is ahead: "There is no doubt as people say the Nile is one of the wonders of the world. If it was always going to be like this it would be all right, but I am afraid we have got the roughest part to come" (7 August). He describes troop movements in preparation for the march and declining morale as the sun and the toil take their toll. Horses and men are underfed, and everything is covered with dirt. "We passed through Metemmeh and saw dozens of deserted villages and large forts destroyed by the Dervishes and the desert all scattered with skeletons of dead animals" (20 August). By 28 August, Robinson and his comrades are on full alert for an enemy attack at any time of day or night. "Sept. 1st. Came upon the enemy scouts today and fired at them two or three times. The gunboats are shelling them. We are pretty near each other now and we have been under fire several times today and we got a few prisoners." His description of the battle and the charge is a valuable historical source. "Friday 2nd Sept. Up early and went out and found them advancing. As I write this the artillery have opened fire now the battle is raging. Maxim guns artillery and infantry dropping them like rotten sheep in hundreds. We got the order to charge and then we charged them in a trench. They were about 10 to 1. A terrible thing. I hope I shall never be in such a thing again. It was awful to see the poor fellows lying mangled on the ground, some with the tops of their heads cut off and others with great wounds. An awful sight, fellows laughing and talking this morning and now laying on the desert stiff." Unlike the bullish Churchill, Robinson has no desire for a repeat performance: "It is the talk everywhere that charge. Someone said like Balaclava. It was no mistake a dreadful thing and all who escaped ought to thank God for their lives." Together, 3 items. Diary: Original black roan over card covers, edges red, 34 leaves completely filled in pencil. Service record: 2 army-issue ledgers, each 22 pp., stitched into leather wallet binding as issued, fixed with buckle. With recent manuscript transcription of whole diary, 28 leaves, each neatly filled one side only, fixed top-left. Diary worn from field use, first leaf now loosely inserted, manuscript faded and marked in places but readable under good light, service record rubbed and browned, tear to cover of first ledger: a very good grouping, enhanced by the recent transcription.
