Ed_Haynes Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Michael, Arabic numerals!As would be normal for Egyptian-Sudanese troops, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrigade Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 As would be normal for Egyptian-Sudanese troops, right?Ed,Yes, as far as my knowledge goes. I have met a Sudanese Historian who has assisted me in obtaining these medals and some others which I will post sometime. According to him, these Force numbers can be researched. I will use this example as an experiment and will see what I can find out. He has a private museum in Khartoum which is very interesting, if there is interest I will ask his permission to post photographs.Regards,Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Which is why I added the link. The first one or two digits is the regiment, the others his regimental number.۱٠ would be the 10th Regiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh kitchen Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 7 clasps, lovely -9th Sudanese Infantry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrigade Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Leigh,The numbers of the arabic numerals in english are " 3343-9".I think the 9th Sudanese Infantry is correct and also applicable in this instance. I have limited research resources with me in the Sudan but this is what I have also come up with after referring to British Battles and Medals, the 1971 fourth edition. The 9th Sudanese Infantry participated in all these engagements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
