“This little collection of purely personal experiences will be found neither any attempt to write a history of the East African campaign, nor a record of achievement of one particular unit. These episodes are merely samples from adventures shared by thousands of others similarly place who ’stuck it’ till sickness or a bullet interrupted their tropical career”. Foreword.
