The Nile Expedition, sometimes called the Gordon Relief Expedition (1884–85), was a British mission to relieve Major-General Charles George Gordon at Khartoum, Sudan. Gordon had been sent to the Sudan to help Egyptians evacuate from Sudan after Britain decided to abandon the country in the face of a rebellion led by self-proclaimed Mahdi, Mahommed Ahmed. A contingent of Canadians was recruited to help the British navigate their small boats up the Nile River. The Nile Expedition was the first overseas expedition by Canadians in a British imperial conflict, although the Nile Voyageurs were civilian employees and did not wear uniforms.

  • Die Gordon Relief Expedition oder Nile Expedition wurde 1884/85, unter Garnet Wolseley, nach Sudan entsandt, um Generalgouverneur Charles George Gordon vor dem Mahdi-Aufstand zu retten. Sie erreichte die sudanesische Hauptstadt Khartum zwei Tage zu spät, um die Erstürmung der Stadt durch die Mahdisten und die Ermordung Gordons zu verhindern. (de)
  • L'expédition du Nil, parfois appelée l'expédition de relève de Gordon (1884–85), est une mission britannique qui avait pour but de relever le major-général Charles Gordon à Khartoum au Soudan. Ce dernier avait été envoyé au Soudan afin d'aider les Égyptiens à évacuer le Soudan après que le Royaume-Uni ait décidé d'abandonner le pays à la suite de la rébellion du Mahdi auto-proclamé, Mahommed Ahmed. Un contingent de canadiens fut recruté afin d'aider les Britanniques à naviguer leurs petits bateaux sur le Nil. L'expédition du Nil fut la première mission outre-mer des Canadiens dans un conflit de l'Empire britannique, même si les voyageurs du Nil étaient des employés civils ne portant pas l'uniforme. (fr)

  • De Nijlexpeditie, soms ook wel de Gordon Relief Expeditie genoemd, was een Britse missie in 1884-1885 om Generaal-majoor Charles George Gordon in Khartoum, Soedan te ontzetten. Gordon werd naar Soedan gestuurd om Egyptenaren te helpen evacueren uit Soedan nadat de Britse regering beslist had het land te verlaten vanwege een opstand geleid door de zelf-benoemde Mahdi, Mohammed Ahmad ibn Abd Allah. Een contingent van Canadezen werden gerekruteerd om de Britten te helpen varen op de Nijl. De Nijlexpeditie was de eerste overzeese expeditie van Canadese troepen. (nl)
