Welcome to FTF camer. Here is a snippet of a quote from this website:
BBC - History - General Charles Gordon (1833 - 1885)
"Khartoum came under siege the next month and on 26th January 1885 the rebels broke into the city, killing Gordon"
I was sad to hear earlier this week that Charlton Heston who played General Gordon in the film Khartoum, had died. I thought he was lovely (Heston, not Gordon)Rose
