This book looks at the uniforms of the Egyptian army from 1832 to 1914. After the Napoleonic wars, Muhammad Ali saw European training, discipline and tactics as crucial to improving his military power. The Egyptian army can be divided into two main periods: before and after 1883 (when the new Egyptian army was formally established). Before 1883, there were nearly twenty guard and line infantry regiments, which had their origins in the establishment of the Nizam al-Jadid: New Organisation. Around 1832, standardised uniforms and equipment based on the European model were introduced. After 1880, the Egyptian army was reorganised, and although it was modelled on the British army during the same period, it retained a distinctive appearance. Between 1885 and 1914, the khaki-coloured field service uniform was introduced in the Egyptian army, in addition to the traditional summer and winter dress, which was relegated to the barracks.
