History


The Khedive's Sudan Medal (1910) was established by the Khedive of Egypt, Abbas Hilmi II, in 1911, as a replacement for the Khedive's Sudan Medal (1897). The Medal was presented by the Khedive in recognition of service and minor operations in South Sudan between 1910 and 1922. The Medal was issued in Silver with clasps to combatants and without clasps to non-combatants. The Medal was issued in Bronze without clasps to camp followers.

The following 16 clasps which feature both an Arabic and English inscription were authorized to wear on the ribbon of combatant recipients to denote campaign service:
1. "ALIAB DINKA"
2. "ATWOT"
3. "ATWOT 1918"
4. "DARFUR 1916"
5. "DARFUR 1921"
6. "FASHER"
7. "GARJAK NUER"
8. "LAU NUER"
9. "MANDAL"
10. "MIRI"
11. "MONGALLA 1915-16"
12. "NYALA:
13. "NYIMA 1917-18"
14. "S.KORDOFAN 1910"
15. "SUDAN 1912"
16. "ZERAF 1913-14"

There are 2 versions of the Medal which differ by the obverse design. The first version features the Arabic cypher of Khedive Abbas Hilmi II along with the Hijri date of establishment "1328." The second version was instituted c.1914-1917 and features the Arabic cypher of Sultan Hussein Hamil and the Hijri date of "1335."

Privately altered versions of the Medal may be encountered.
