The Rehearsal: Australians At War In The Sudan 1885 by K.S. Inglis chronicles a pivotal, yet often overlooked, chapter in Australian military history. This historical account meticulously details the experiences of the New South Wales Contingent, the first Australian troops deployed overseas, as they participated in the British campaign in Sudan. Inglis presents a compelling narrative that uncovers the motivations, challenges, and ultimate impact of this early military expedition on the nascent Australian identity. The work maintains an academic yet accessible tone, illustrating the complexities of colonial warfare and the formative experiences of a nation finding its place on the global stage. It argues for the profound significance of this rehearsal in shaping Australia's future military engagements and national consciousness.
