by John Berry (Author), Fg Elliot (Photographer)

Many books have been written about the First World War campaign in German East Africa, sometimes called the Forgotten War as it was overshadowed by the battles of the Western Front. The British South Africa Police of Southern Rhodesia had a relatively minor role numerically in the overall scale of this campaign, but it played an important part in the continuous pursuit of the German forces over a large portion of the territory which later became Tanganyika and then Tanzania. Previously unpublished, the photographs of Sergeant FG Elliot and the Diary of BSAP Service Company Private WHJ Walker paint a vivid picture of the day to day life of the men.
