IIRC Sudan was also mentioned as one of the areas of the banning.

About two years after they got their Li,ey Arses kicked in the Boer War-- see the great B Film Noir about that- Breaker Morant--kinda kicks the old "Plump and Circumference' right in the ding-ding, don't it!!

RWTF, FWIW, that film is about what amounts to little more than a footnote: the court-martialling of 3 Australians for war crimes in the South African war of 1899-1902... but it did have repercussions later on for command and accountability structures for subsequently deployed Australian troops...
