To return to part 3 HERE

Conclusion of the Fourth Campaign  

The Fourth Campaign had cost sterling pounds 2,500,000.  The British had lost 3 officers and 31 other ranks killed, and 10 officers and 54 other ranks wounded.  Egerton claimed to have killed over 2,000 dervishes and seized nearly 500 rifles, 24,000 camels and 36,000 head of other stock.  Perhaps closer cooperation from the Italians and the Mijertain chiefs could have resulted in the Mullah’s death or capture but once the rains fell the dervishes and their herds enjoyed freedom of movement in most directions, and they were unstoppable.  

Egerton’s final despatch drew to a close by saying:

“But though he (the Mullah) personally has not been captured, the effectual blow dealt him at Jidballi, the capture of the greater part of his stock, the wholesale desertions of his adherents, the destruction of Illig, and the relentless following up so long as he remained in the British Protectorate have broken his power for a long time to come, and it will depend on the future policy of the Protectorate Administration whether it has not been broken finally and for all time.  This, I take it, was the true object of the campaign.”  

The British government concurred, ended the ‘expeditionary period’ of military campaigns in Somaliland and handed the initiative back to the civil administration.  The British and Indian soldiers went home with the exception of the 101st Grenadiers, the 107th Pioneers and the two Indian MI companies; these four units stayed to garrison Somaliland until reliefs arrived from India in the Autumn.  The Italians now negotiated with the Mullah who agreed to accept Italian protection in return for locating peacefully to a coastal area near Illig; the British government later recognized this situation.  But the Mullah was only resting and re-grouping – there were 16 more years of fight left in him and his followers!

Campaign Medal and Clasps  

A medal was now sanctioned to recognize service whether in the Second, Third or Fourth Campaign, or in any two of these campaigns or in all of them.  It was the Africa General Service Medal with clasp SOMALILAND 1902-04.  Those present at the Battle of Jidballi, including the baggage guard left behind under the command of Major W.B. Mullins, 27th Punjabis, were awarded a second clasp titled JIDBALLI.
