Overview

Saaxdheer is on the border with Ethiopia. The town lies in the Sahader Valley, due south of Las Anod. Sahdheer lies a few miles northwest of Gumburka Cagaare[1], the site of the greatest Darwiish victory over a joint Abyssinian-British force. The British force consisted of men from nine different regions of the world:

Within the encampment there was a strange medley of men drawn from many different corners of the Empire: From the British Isles, from South Africa, from Frontier of India, from Kenya, from the Nile, from the uplands of Central Africa, Boers and Sikhs and Sudanese: Their race had battled against the Empire not so many years before, but had since found contentment and prosperity under British rule.
