Dul Madoba is a ridge some Шаблон:Convert southeast of Burao in what was then British Somaliland. On the 8th of August 1913 fleeing Dhulbahante tribesmen sought refuge with Corfield who was stationed at Ber with the Camel Constabulary. The Dhulbahante informed him that the Dervish raided their settlements and captured their camel herds.[4] Corfield set out to Punish the Dervish and return the looted Dhulbahante livestock. The battle took place on 9 August 1913. On one side 110 members of the Camel Constabulary of British Somaliland and 300 British allied Dhulbahante tribesmen all under the command of Colonel Richard Corfield faced some 2750 well-armed Dervish followers of Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, nicknamed by the British as the Mad Mullah. Thirty-six of the Constabulary including Corfield were killed in action and 21 were wounded. [5]
