EL-TEB - TAMAAI
This clasp was awarded to all those who had taken part in the actions of El Teb & Tamaai. It is UNUSUAL to find a medal with a SINGLE CLASP.
The 2nd Bn Royal Irish Fusiliers had 8 Casualties at El-Teb while forming the right flank of a British hollow square, alongside the King’s Royal Rifle Corps
At Tamaai, on the 13th March 1884, the 2nd Bn Royal Irish Fusiliers were present on the Rear Flank of the British Square of the 1st Brigade.
Tamaai was a savage action. 214 British Soldiers and 10 Officers were KILLED IN ACTION or WOUNDED. This Battle caused the most Casualties of any Battle faught in the MAHDIST WAR so intense was the action.
