"My object in writing these reminiscences is to place on record a true account of work undertaken in a strange and savage country by inexperienced city men, called out from the comfort of their own homes and from the blessings of civilized surroundings, by the exigencies of war, to a new and little-dreamt-of exploratory campaign the like of which, inasmuch as the motor car played such a unique part, will probably never happen again - at least not as we knew it." [From the author's Foreword]. Interesting account of the East Africa Campaign, and the novel use of motorised transport in warfare. Illustrated with 54 of the author's own excellent photos.
