the elephant in the room - i'll take one for the team...

of course the sudanese arms an even the english ones could all be antipope, as the mahdists were islamic, as were the gyptians, and even the english were anti-catholic. the king/queen of the UK cannot by law be catholic, and only in 2011 was a concession made that they could marry one. an islamic woman still cannot marry a non muslim, so all kinda antipapal. even if not made of antilope bits.

Wonderful display and collection.

For those who may be interested, the first edition of Churchill's book on the subject, The River War, was severely edited to remove comments Churchill thought would be politically damaging, and was never reprinted in totality. Copies of the first edition are rather pricey, usually running to four figures.

However, it is available online for those who can tolerate the idea of reading a few thousand pages on thier computer screens. Here's a link:
