British uniform in the Sudan.

I frequently recommend this article from "Savage and Soldier" as a concise and comprehensive reference for the Egyptians--including uniforms:

But if you're into the Sudan, I strongly (heartily, enthusiastically, frothingly) recommend The Virtual Armchair General's compendium of S&S articles, supplemented with new info and plates, the two-volume "Mahdist Wars Sourcebook":

A little dear, but simply cracking.  If you're wondering how many actual bashi-bazouks were available in a given force before ordering your new Perry figs, this will tell you. 

All good answers above, by the way: well done, Plynkes.  I hesistate to mention that I still have those MM articles!  They're still excellent references, too.

I second that! It's an excellent resource and essential if you are into The Sudan. I was lucky enough to get my name in the subscribers' list prior to re-publication

There's also this one: "WAR IN THE SUDAN 1884-1898: A Campaign Guide" by stuart Asquith, which deals more with scenarios etc.

We were both right. Brown for Egyptian troops, Blue for Sudanese ones.

Thank God for that.
Now I can rest easy...
