With Botha and Smuts in Africa

Lieutenant Commander W.Whittall commanded No.1 Squadron, Royal Naval Armoured Car Division from 1915 to 1917, during World War One. His book, a fascinating account of his service with No.1 Squadron in German South West Africa during 1915, and again in German East Africa later in the war, was first published in 1917. It includes both historical and personal insights into the two campaigns run by General Botha and Smuts in South Western Africa and East Africa respectively. This reprint, complete in every respect, has been faithfully reproduced from his original book. Additionally, some relevant photographs from these campaigns have been added in a series of appendices.
