(Czech, p. 270) "In the first half of this book, Stodel notes hunting in Namibia and includes chapters on sport after steenbok, duiker and leopards, with additional note of bagging crocodiles and big game fishing off the African coast. Most of the remaining content involves his experiences during the Great War." - Kenneth Czech: An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785-1999. "Today I am a Big Game Conservationist. Four years ago I decided that I would join with those around the world whose concern was for the preservation of wild life, so fast disappearing from the plains and backwoods in the spread of civilisation, and the accompanying hunting and destruction by mankind. . I have a strong feeling of remorse and have discarded the heads and horns and skeletal trophies at so much cost of life, and confess that I always hunted where there was an abundance of game, thus depletion did not cross my mind as anything wrong or serious until I grew old and wiser." - From the author's Introduction.
