Description

Excerpt from Three Years of War in East Africa

The author does not harp overmuch on the sickness and privations of his comrades - The has been through too many of them to do so; but I am reminded of the remark of one of them during the not infrequent periods of grousing which every respectable British soldier must have. Ah, I wish to h I was in France! There one lives like a gentleman and dies like a man, here one lives like a pig and dies like a dog. There may have been something in this remark, yet I have thought as I saw the 25th staggering on, absolutely in rags, many with fever actually on them.
