"Lean men, brown men, men from overseas,
Men from all the outer world; shy and ill at ease
" There were Canadian Mounties, American cowboys, Arctic explorers,
adventurers, rogues, big game hunters and sportsmen. There were
famous men like Cherry Kearton, the naturalist and explorer and the
grand old man of Africa-Frederick Selous himself. All these men had
come together under the Union Flag to do battle against colonial
Imperial Germany in East Africa. They came under the command of
Driscoll of Driscoll's Scouts who performed with renown during the
Boer War. These were the men of the 25th Royal Fusiliers-The Legion
of Frontiersmen-and their battlegrounds were to be the great plains
of Africa rich in wildlife and elemental danger. This is their
story through the years of the Great War told by one of their own
officers in vivid detail. It is a story of campaigns and hardship
which would be equal to the best of them and lay many a 'lean,
brown man' in a shallow grave in the red earth before it was
concluded.
