#22. Missing Memoirs 5 (Sudan)

Flashman aged: 62 - 63

Years: 1884 - 1885

 

*Notes

In “The road to charing cross” Flashman almost gets killed in Austria trying to avoid being sent to Sudan. However by the end of that story, he’s sent there anyway. We will never know exactly what he does there but knowing Flash it was probably something to do with the siege of Khartoum and he most likely had some part to play in the death of General Gordon.

 

The death of General Gordon was romanticized in a popular painting by George W. Joy. When I saw the painting I knew I had to try to add a sneaky cowardly looking Flashman just moments before, peering round the wall.
