In 1892 General Horatio Kitchener was appointed sirdar of the Egyptian army. |
The officers rearranged their chairs in a circle while the sirdar, a bearded man in a white lace skullcap, started serving them. |
The shop stocks Sirdar yarns plus wool, patterns, books, knitting needles, sewing needles, thread, buttons and small haberdashery items. |
A Sirdar was a rank assigned to the British commander in chief of the Egyptian Army during the 19th century when the British controlled Egypt. |
Would the sirdar mind giving me a few details about the fighting on the 17th? |
The delegation was led by Chairman Lower Bari Dowab Canal Area Water Board Sirdar Tipu Usman. |
