Naval Brigade in the Sudan

Within the Royal Navy, a naval brigade is a large temporary detachment of Royal Marines and of seamen from the Royal Navy formed to undertake operations on shore, particularly during the mid- to late-19th century. Seamen were specifically trained in land-based warfare at the gunnery school at HMS Excellent in Portsmouth.


In the Sudan theater the Naval Brigade fought in the following campaigns:

  • the 1882 Anglo-Egyptian War
  • the Anglo-Sudanese War (1884–5)


 If you get tired of all of the khaki and grey - just add some blue jackets to your field force.
