Book Description
Excerpt from Medical Services, Vol. 1: General History; Medical Services in the United Kingdom, in British Garrisons Overseas, and During Operations Against Tsingtau, in Togoland, the Cameroons, and South-West Africa IT has always been a matter of regret amongst students of the medical histories of wars that a consecutive history relating to the medical services has rarely been compiled, at any rate in connection With British campaigns. The facts and lessons taught by war have to be searched for in reports of Royal Commissions and of parliamentary, inter departmental, and War Office committees; in the appendices to the annual reports of the Army Medical Department; in general publications and articles in journals in Continental literature; as well as amongst other documents, many of Which are untabulated and their existence not generally known. Popular books which deal mainly with details of interest to the general reader and are usually published before all the facts are available must necessarily be of limited historical value, and, although they throw many sidelights on events, frequently fail in accuracy and are consequently apt to be misleading. Thus the opportunities for studying the organization, development, and work of the medical services in the different phases of a campaign, and the details of the diseases, wounds, measures for the prevention of inefficiency, and other matters of medical and national interest are not readily available although they may have been recorded in official documents.

Book Description
The First World War began in East Africa in August 1914 and did not end until 13 November 1918. In its scale and impact, it was the largest conflict yet to take place on African soil. Four empires and their subject peoples were engaged in a conflict that ranged from modern Kenya in the north to Mozambique in the south. The campaign combined heroic human endeavour and terrible suffering, set in some of the most difficult terrain in the world. The troops had to cope with extremes that ranged from arid deserts to tropical jungles to formidable mountains and almost always on inadequate rations.Yet the East African campaign has languished in undeserved obscurity over the years with many people only vaguely aware of its course of events. Indeed, Humphrey Bogart’s famous film, The African Queen, inspired by an episode of the campaign, often provides its only lasting image.The Forgotten Front is the first full-scale history of this neglected campaign. Ross Anderson details both the fighting and the strategic and political background to the war and the differing viewpoints of the principal protagonists
