The Battle of Tel El Kebir (often spelled Tel-El-Kebir), fought on 13 September 1882 at Tell El Kebir in Egypt, 110 km north-north-east of Cairo, proved the decisive engagement of the Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882. A British army led by Lieutenant General Sir Garnet Wolseley approached under cover of darkness and defeated an entrenched Egyptian force under the command of Ahmed ʻUrabi in a sudden assault.
