Sudan Defence Force
The Sudan Defence Force (SDF) was a locally recruited, British-led force formed in 1925 to assist the police in the event of civil unrest, and to maintain the borders of British administered Sudan. During World War II, it also served beyond the Sudan in the East African campaign and in the Western Desert campaign.
