I made the changes to the article (05:47, 12 August 2009 69.181.207.29 (talk) (16,136 bytes) (expanded information on the battle and combatants). There was a problem when I hit save. Any errors are mine, not some nameless person with just an IP. --HistorianBell 05:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by HistorianBell (talk • contribs)

One Side Only

As is usual for these entries, only one side, the British side of the story is told. Almost no reference to Ottoman side, their commanders, preprations and general context. Again, the British, in spite of huge advantage in men and material, fall victim to a series of unfortunate coincidences.
