Publisher's Synopsis
Sketches of the East Africa Campaign is a book written by Robert Valentine Dolbey, which provides a detailed account of his experiences during the East Africa Campaign of World War I. The book contains a collection of sketches, drawings, and watercolors that Dolbey created during his time as a soldier in the British Army. The East Africa Campaign was a military campaign fought in East Africa between 1914 and 1918, and Dolbey's book provides a unique perspective on this little-known aspect of World War I. The sketches and drawings in the book depict scenes from the campaign, including battles, landscapes, and the daily life of soldiers in the field. In addition to the illustrations, Dolbey also provides written descriptions of the events and people he encountered during the campaign. He describes the harsh conditions of the African terrain, the difficulties of fighting against German forces, and the camaraderie and bravery of his fellow soldiers. Overall, Sketches of the East Africa Campaign is a fascinating and visually stunning account of a lesser-known aspect of World War I. It provides a unique insight into the experiences of soldiers fighting in a challenging and unfamiliar environment, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history.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.
