Mahdist commander Ahmed Fedil was pursued to the Upper Blue Nile after defeat at Omdurman and lost at Gedaref before being brought to battle just south of Rosaires near Dakhila by a British-Sudanese force under Colonel David (Taffy) Lewis. The Dervishes suffered heavy losses, including Emir Saadallah killed, but fought again a year later at Um Diwaykarat.
