Initially only the Egyptian Army was engaged. British Army units joined from early 1898, with two British brigades being present at the decisive victory at Omdurman on 2 September 1898, in which Winston Churchill took part.[2] Seventeen members of the Royal Navy and 27 Royal Marines who helped man the Nile gunboats also received the medal.[1] The medal was awarded in silver to soldiers of the British and Egyptian armies, and in bronze to a small number of non-combatants, comprising authorised followers, officers’ servants and grooms from the Indian Army.[3][4] All recipients of the Queen's Medal also received the Khedive's Sudan Medal.
