An exciting work of travel, military experiences and big game hunting adventures by an officer in the King’s African Rifles. The author had to contend with raiding Abyssinian tribesmen, but found time to hunt elephant, rhinoceros and lion, particularly in the Kerio Valley. Near the Ethiopian border, Lloyd-Jones was severely wounded while fighting a band of raiders, with gangrene setting into his foot. The ‘Havash’ of the title refers to the Arab word for Abyssinians, considered to be ferocious fighters. Original brick red cloth with gilt vignette to top cover, and gilt spine titles. Small bump to edge of vignette. Spine lightly sunned. Original endpapers firm and tight. Well illustrated with photo plates and map.
