Answer
During his time as Commander-in-Chief, the British Army's weaknesses were revealed. In 1881, Wolseley led an expeditionary force to Egypt to relieve General Charles Gordon, who was besieged in Khartoum by the Mahdi. However, the campaign was a failure, and Gordon was killed. Wolseley was also criticized for his handling of the Zulu War in 1879, which resulted in a number of British defeats.
