To say that the "British trained officer corps of Egypt retained its traditional role as the centrality of Egyptian government well into the 21st century" seems bizzare as we have only completed a tenth of the 21st century.

Last fight in red coats?

I have read that this battle was the British Army's last engagement fought in their once-signal red coats. But this was only a passing mention in the source I read--neither a general British Army history nor a discussion of the Anglo-Egyptian war--so I'm hesitant to cite it here. But if this is in fact true, I would expect it to be known among people who actually are students of British military history, and to rate a mention here. Anyone?

Well into the 21st century
