thread_title: Very poor syntax throughout

message: I have read that this battle was the British Army's last engagement fought in their once-signal red coats. But this was only a passing mention in the source I read--neither a general British Army history nor a discussion of the Anglo-Egyptian war--so I'm hesitant to cite it here. But if this is in fact true, I would expect it to be known among people who actually are students of British military history, and to rate a mention here. Anyone?

replies: text:  If anyone out there is still interested, the 'red coat' was last worn in battle,  on perhaps a couple of occasions, in the Sudan campaigns of 1884-85; last worn on campaign in West Africa on the Ashanti expedition of 1895. The intended purpose was to cowe what was seen as primitive-minded opposition. JF42 (talk) 13:00, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

message: As I don't know the context of the quote, I do not know what a sensible edit would be (was it meant to read twentieth century?).
To say that the "British trained officer corps of Egypt retained its traditional role as the centrality of Egyptian government well into the 21st century" seems bizzare as we have only completed a tenth of the 21st century.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.237.199.248 (talk) 12:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

TV filling western heads with "OH LOOK They have blown up a bus" and not "Oh gee that was retaliation for 1882" 
Scottish as well I can imagine the barbarians in the pub going on about how Egypt had this and had that and we want it.
I bet not much has changed to this day other than the clothes they wear and the beer they drank.
Oh Shut it McGregor, I gave you my address I haven't heard frm yooo
"Yeah send the Irish we can afford to lose some of them. They wouldnt know better anyway." (Tell them I have beer I might get raided I bet that's what happened in Bankstown then you had a laugh at them.)

message: Shouldn't it be 'Tel-el-kebir'? Not 'Tell.' Regardless, be consistent ie it mixes spellings.
