On 21st of October 1917, while defending Lukeledi Mission against a German assault, Sergeant Adam el Hashim of 1/3rd Kings African Rifles was sent at the head of a small detachment of soldiers into Lukeledi village to outflank the enemy. El Hashim's men stumbled on a whole company of Germans, and were driven back.
