FYI
 I believe the city finally fell on Jan 26th ,with the belated relief expedition close , but spent short of the city.

RIP General Gordon

Not forgetting the thousands of Sudanese and Egyptians (And, I suppose, Europeans) he failed (refused?) to evacuate and led to their deaths.
All things considered, Gordon is, in my opinion, probably the last man to mourn in the human tragedy that was the fall of Khartoum.
