ROBERT V. DOLBEY, R.A.M.C. AUTHOR OF "A REGIMENTAL SURGEON IN WAR AND PRISON" WITH ILLUSTRATIONS 1918 TO L.A.D. AND C.B. PREFACE The bulk of these "Sketches" were written without any thought of publication. It was my practice in "writing home" to touch upon different features of the campaign or of my daily experiences, and only when I returned to England to find that kind hands had carefully preserved these hurried letters, did it occur to me that, grouped together, they might serve to throw some light on certain aspects of the East Africa campaign, which might not find a place in a more elaborate history. For the illustrations, I have been able to draw upon a number of German photographs which fell into our hands. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. H.T. Montague Bell for the care and kindness with which he has grouped this collection of inco-ordinate sketches and formed it into a more or less comprehensive whole. ROBERT V.
