The Heroes
of the East African Campaign

As the railway line moved westwards from Voi towards Taveta a big camp was built half-way at Maktau...

the heavy machine gun fire of the British armoured cars, whilst not very accurate because of the thick bush, demoralised the German Askari

During a mounted infantry engagement the enemy got within a few yards of our men, and it was found impossible to get the more severely wound

The Kashmir Rifles at Tsavo donated their own boots & 200 yards of pugaree cloth was purchased to wrap around the remaining bare feet.
