""A Contribution To The Medical History Of Our West African Campaigns"" is a book written by Albert Augustus Gore and published in 1876. The book provides a detailed account of the medical challenges faced by British troops during their campaigns in West Africa.

The book covers a range of topics, including the prevalence of malaria and other tropical diseases, the use of quinine as a treatment, and the challenges of operating in a remote and hostile environment. It also includes descriptions of the medical facilities and personnel involved in the campaigns, as well as the impact of disease on the overall success of the British military effort.
