Sketches Of The East Africa Campaign

Sketches of the East Africa Campaign is a 1918 First World War memoir by Robert Valentine Dolbey (died 1937), a British army surgeon who served in the long, grueling campaign against German forces in East Africa. Dolbey records the disease, hardship, and strange beauty of a little-remembered theatre of the war, where the German commander von Lettow-Vorbeck held out until the armistice. The book is a vivid firsthand account of an overlooked front. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
