The East African Campaign through a British Army Doctor's eyes The
author of this book-a practicing doctor in the British Army-had
already served on the Western Front in the early months of the
Great War and had actually become a P. O. W. at the hands of the
German enemy. Now in the East African Campaign he explains-in
writings originally intended for his own family-every aspect of war
in this little reported theatre. We learn about the movements of
troops and battle actions, but also of the character of troops from
many countries and of the African tribes who fought for each side.
We hear of the trials of the motor transport men-dodging ambush and
wild animals equally-and of the adventures of the "behind the
lines" intelligence gatherers living thrilling and dangerous lives
in the bush. Finally we are shown the difficulties of keeping men
healthy and the problems of saving lives under the most arduous
conditions. This is an unusual and interesting perspective on war
from a medical man in Africa.
