THE SHANGANI PATROL
A Tale of Victorian Valour.

From the M.O.T.H. Shellhole that bears the name of Major Allan Wilson, leader of the Shangani Patrol.

Part of the legend and myth of Rhodesia, the story of The Shangani Patrol has been the subject of much report, writings and analysis, even being made into a full feature movie.

This booklet is a compilation of narrative, newspaper reports and illustrations covering the person of Wilson, the Matabele campaign of 1893 and the story of the Shangani Patrol and its famous last stand.

What makes this book different is its ancestry and association with Allan Wilson and the event itself.
