Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ...felt--not, it is true, by the Baggara, but by the rural population, who, tired of this constant warfare, sighed for the return of a rule which, with all its faults, had at least given them enough to eat. By the end of June the original price of corn at Omdurman had been trebled, and there was a complete dearth of luxuries, such as sugar, rice, etc. In the meantime, Nejumi had been ordered to return to Omdurman to confer with the Khalifa on the plan of campaign. Towards the end of the month he again came back to Berber, and was reinforced by the emir Abd el Halim and his men, fresh from their successes on the Atbara. Him he appointed as his wakil. The next few months were spent in collecting the forces and pushing them on to the various posts; but delays in an ill-organised army are inevitable--troubles on the Abyssinian frontier, in Kordofan and Darfur, prevented the Khalifa from sending Nejumi the reinforcements he required. The left flank of his advance, too, was continually threatened by the restless Saleh, sheikh of the Kababish. All these circumstances delayed and hampered the impatient Nejumi, and it was not until the 14th of October that he at last advanced across the desert from Berber to Merawi, to again delay at the latter place to recruit from the inhabitants of that district. His advanced posts, however, were active, probably owing to the recall of Mohammed el Kheir to Omdurman; and the command from Kermeh north devolving on Osman Azrak, he in October pushed on small parties to Suarda and Ferkeh under Nur el Kanzi.1 The Egyptian advance post at Gemai, twenty-two miles from Halfa, was now withdrawn to Khor Mussa, some five miles distant from Halfa. The command of all the troops on the frontier was held by Brigadier-General the...

He was born at Broadfield, Renfrewshire, on the 25th of June 1861, being the seventh son of Andrew Wingate of Glasgow and Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Turner of Dublin.
He was educated at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and became a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery in 1880.
He served in India and Aden, 1881- 1883, and in the last-named year joined the Egyptian army on its reorganization by Sir Evelyn Wood, and in the Gordon Relief Expedition of 1884-1885 was A. D. C. and military secretary to Sir Evelyn. For his services he received the brevet rank of major. After holding an appointment in England for a brief period he rejoined the Egyptian army in 1886.
He took part in the operations on the Sudan frontier in 1889, including the engagement at Toski and in the further operations in 1891, being present at the capture of Tokar.
In 1894 he was governor of Suakin. His principal work was in the Intelligence branch of the service, of which he became director in 1892. A master of Arabic, his knowledge of the country, the examination of prisoners, refugees and others from the Sudan, and the study of documents captured from the Dervishes enabled him to publish in 1891 Mahdiism and the Egyptian Sudan, an authoritative account of the rise of the Mahdi and of subsequent events in the Sudan up to that date. Largely through his instrumentality Father Ohrwalder and two nuns escaped from Omdurman in 1891.
Wingate also made the arrangements which led to the escape of Slatin Pasha in 1895. The English versions of Father Ohrwalder's narrative (Ten Years in the Mahdi's Camp, 1892) and of Slatin's book (Fire and Sword in the Sudan, 1896) were from Wingate's pen, being rewritten from a rough translation of the original German.
As director of military intelligence he served in the campaigns of 1896-1898 which resulted in the reconquest of the Sudan, including the engagement at Firket, the battles of the Atbara and Omdurman and the expedition to Fashoda. In an interval (March-June 1897) he went to Abyssinia as second in command of the Rennell Rodd mission. For his services he was made colonel, an extra A. D. C. to Queen Victoria, received the thanks of parliament and was created K. C M. G.
Wingate was in command of an expeditionary force which in November 1899 defeated the remnant of the Dervish host at Om Debrcikat, Kordofan, the khalifa being among the slain.
For this achievement he was made K. C. B. In December of the same year, on Lord Kitchener being summoned to South Africa, Sir Reginald Wingate succeeded him as governor-general of the Sudan and sirdar of the Egyptian army. His administration of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan was conspicuously successful, the country, after the desolation of the Mahdia, rapidly regaining a measure of prosperity.
In 1909, at the request of the British government, Wingate undertook a special mission to Somaliland to report on the military situation in connexion with the proposed evacuation of the interior of the protectorate.

Wingate married Catherine Rundle (later Dame Catherine Wingate) on 18 June 1888. He was related to Orde Wingate, who led British commando units in Palestine, Sudan and Burma before and during the Second World War.
