Its overall aim is to advance public awareness of Anglo-Sudanese history, particularly the development of the naval gunboats and the achievements of those involved in the military campaigns in the period 1883-1899. The Society is supported by those who have a common interest in the history of the Sudan and its special relationship with Great Britain.
