From the front lines of the Mashonaland Rising, a firsthand account of mounted infantry in action.
This non‑fiction memoir captures the 1896 campaign in which a BritishMounted Infantry company sails to Rhodesia, moves by sea and land, and fights across difficult terrain. It blends practical troop organization, fieldcraft, and sketches of operations with personal reflections from the author, who served as a key participant. Expect vivid scenes of raids, laagers, river crossings, and cave fighting, all told with a clear eye for details and logistics.
A practical, on‑the‑ground view of how mounted infantry organized, trained, and fought in a far‑off colonial war. The book includes maps, illustrations, and appendices that document patrols, casualties, and the structure of the force, making it a useful resource for readers who want to understand late 19th‑century military operations in Africa.
- Insights into how mounted infantry were formed from battalion detachments and how leaders earned trust and efficiency.
- Descriptions of laagering tactics, river crossings, and rapid, horse‑dependent warfare in hostile terrain.
- Accounts of specific engagements, challenges with supply, and the daily realities of long campaigns.
- Photographs, sketches, and maps that illuminate the theatre of operations and key routes.
Ideal for readers of military history, imperial campaigns, and 19th‑century warfare, especially those interested in the Rhodesian frontier and the use of mounted troops in colonial conflicts.
