Publisher's Synopsis

Sketches of the East Africa Campaign is a book written by Robert Valentine Dolbey. The book provides a detailed account of the campaign that took place in East Africa during World War I. Dolbey was a soldier who fought in the campaign and his sketches and observations provide a unique perspective on the war. The book covers the various battles and skirmishes that took place, as well as the challenging terrain and weather conditions that the soldiers had to endure. Dolbey's sketches provide a vivid portrayal of the people and landscapes of East Africa, and his writing style is engaging and informative. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of World War I or the campaign in East Africa.The veins of the arms we brought into service, that we might pour in this vitalising fluid. Day and night the fight goes on for three days, until it is won or lost. Here again, as in tick fever, we use the preparation 606, for which we are indebted to the great Ehrlich. Champagne is a great stand-by. So well recognised is the latter remedy that all old hands at tropical travel take with them a case of ""bubbly water"" for such occasions as these. Blessed morphia, too, brings ease of vomiting and is a priceless boon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
