This is a story of the soldier Corporal E. Doitsh 1st S. A. I who fought in the First World war in South West Africa, Egypt, France and DE. He left Cape Town on September 20, 1915. " My qualification as an author are indeed limited, but as against this I set my experience as a soldier - three years` services in the South African War; the campaign in Egypt and South - west Africa; Delville Wood, of blessed memory! where I was taken prisoner by the Germans. I shall show in plain language what the German hospital in Northern France was like; you will see the hospital in DE where my leg was amputated; and you will know the horrors and the humours of a prisoners` camp in DE”.
