On 11 December, a British column sent to Duwwar Hussein was attacked along the Matruh–Sollum track and in the Affair of Wadi Senba, drove the Senussi out of the wadi. The reconnaissance continued and on 13 December at Wadi Hasheifiat, the British were attacked again and held up until artillery came into action in the afternoon and forced the Sanussi to retreat. The British returned to Matruh until 25 December and then made a night advance to surprise the Sanussi. At the Affair of Wadi Majid, the Sanussi were defeated but were able to withdraw to the west. Air reconnaissance found more Senussi encampments in the vicinity of Matruh at Halazin, which was attacked on 23 January, in the Affair of Halazin. The Senussi fell back skilfully and then attempted to envelop the British flanks. The British were pushed back on the flanks as the centre advanced and defeated the main body of Senussi, who were again able to withdraw.

In February 1916, the Western Frontier Force was reinforced and a British column was sent west along the coast to re-capture Sollum. Air reconnaissance discovered a Senussi encampment at Agagia, which was attacked in the Action of Agagia on 26 February. The Senussi were defeated and then intercepted by the Dorset Yeomanry as they withdrew; the Yeomanry charged across open ground swept by machine-gun and rifle fire. The British lost half their horses and 58 of 184 men but prevented the Senussi from slipping away. Jaafar Pasha, the commander of the Senussi forces on the coast, was captured and Sollum was re-occupied by British forces on 14 March 1916, which concluded the coastal campaign.

以下のとおりお答えします。英国軍とサヌッシ（セヌッシ、セヌーシー）軍との戦いで、英国軍が勝利していく課程を述べています。

＞On 11 December, a British column sent to Duwwar Hussein was attacked along the Matruh–Sollum track and in the Affair of Wadi Senba, drove the Senussi out of the wadi. The reconnaissance continued and on 13 December at Wadi Hasheifiat, the British were attacked again and held up until artillery came into action in the afternoon and forced the Sanussi to retreat. The British returned to Matruh until 25 December and then made a night advance to surprise the Sanussi.
⇒12月11日、ドゥワル・フセインへ派遣された英国の縦隊が、かれ谷（砂漠の窪地）からマトルフ-ソルム道に沿ってサヌッシ軍が襲来した「ワジ・センバ事件」の中で攻撃を浴びた。しかし偵察は続き、12月13日、英国軍は再びワジ・ハシェイフィアットで攻撃を受けたが、持久戦になり、ついに午後からは砲兵隊が参戦して活躍し、サヌッシ軍に退却を余儀なくさせた。12月25日までに英国軍はマトルーフに戻り、それから夜間進軍してサヌッシ軍を急襲した。

＞At the Affair of Wadi Majid, the Sanussi were defeated but were able to withdraw to the west. Air reconnaissance found more Senussi encampments in the vicinity of Matruh at Halazin, which was attacked on 23 January, in the Affair of Halazin. The Senussi* fell back skilfully and then attempted to envelop the British flanks. The British were pushed back on the flanks as the centre advanced and defeated the main body of Senussi, who were again able to withdraw.
⇒「ワジ・マジッド事件」では、サヌッシは敗北したが、西方へ退去することができた。空中偵察でハラジンのマトルーフ近辺に多くのサヌッシ軍野営地が発見され、1月23日に攻撃された。これが「ハラジン事件」である。セヌッシ*軍は巧妙に後退し、それから英国軍の側面への回りこみを試みた。それで英国軍は側面に押し戻されたが、中央部隊が進軍してセヌッシ軍の主力部隊を敗走させたので、彼らは再度撤退したようである。
* Senussi「セヌッシ」：Sanussi「サヌッシ」と同じ。すなわち、スーフィー教を奉じるアラビア民族で、おもにリビアやスーダンに居住する。Senusi「セヌーシー」と言うこともある。

＞In February 1916, the Western Frontier Force was reinforced and a British column was sent west along the coast to re-capture Sollum.

The Senussi were defeated and then intercepted by the Dorset Yeomanry as they withdrew; the Yeomanry charged across open ground swept by machine-gun and rifle fire.
⇒1916年2月、西部前線軍が補強されて、英国軍の縦隊がソルムを再攻略すべく沿岸沿いに西方へ派遣された。空中偵察によってアガジャにサヌッシ軍野営地を発見し、2月26日に「アガジャの交戦」でこれを攻撃した。セヌッシ軍は敗走したが、撤退の途中でドーセット自由農民がこれを迎撃した。自由農民は開けた台地を横切って突撃し、機銃掃射とライフル銃の砲火により敵兵を一掃した。

＞The British lost half their horses and 58 of 184 men but prevented the Senussi from slipping away. Jaafar Pasha, the commander of the Senussi forces on the coast, was captured and Sollum was re-occupied by British forces on 14 March 1916, which concluded the coastal campaign.
⇒英国軍は、半数の馬と兵士184人中58人を失いながらも、サヌッシ軍の逃走は阻止した。サヌッシ軍の司令部、ジャーファー・パシャを攻略し、1916年3月14日、英国軍はソルムを再占領した。こうして、英国軍は、沿岸の会戦にケリをつけたのである。
