Item description from seller

2005 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1921). HB. 238pp with one map and 22 b/w photos This is an unofficial record of the campaign in E Africa, based partly on a diary kept by the author and written up at irregular intervals but by far the greater part has been written entirely from memory.
