My Reminiscences of East Africa; Reminiscences of East Africa General von Lettow-Vorbeck. REMINISCENCES OF EAST .AFRICA .. General von Lettow-Vorbeck With Portrait, 22 Maps and Sketch-Maps, and 13 'Drawings *By General von Lettow-Vorbeck s Adjutant 31- 3 LONDON: HURST AND BLACKETT, LTD. PATERNOSTER HOUSE, L.C. PREFACE all the German colonies, though but a few decades old, a life IN full of promise was discernible. We were beginning to under- settlers and stand the national value of our colonial possessions ; in industries and factories were capital were venturing ; beginning to flourish. Compared with that of other nations, the colonizing process of Germany had progressed peacefully and steadily, and the inhabitants had confidence in the justice of German administration. This development had barely commenced when it was destroyed by the world war. In spite of all tangible proofs to the contrary, an unjustifiable campaign of falsehood is being conducted in order to make the world believe that the Germans lacked colonizing talent and were cruel to the natives. A small force, mainly composed of these very natives, opposed this development. Almost without any external means of coercion, even without immediate payment, this force, with its numerous native followers, faithfully followed its German leaders throughout the whole of the prolonged war against a more than hundredfold superiority. When the armistice came it was still fit to fight, and imbued with the best soldierly spirit. That is a fact which cannot be controverted, and is in itself a sufficient answer to the hostile mis-statements. It has not been possible for me to give an exhaustive account of the operations of the German East African Protective Force. The existing material is insufficient, much has been lost, and even now I am unacquainted with various events, the actors in which have not yet returned home. My own records have for the most part been lost, and I had not the leisure to prepare a detailed description of the cam- paign in East Africa in addition to my other duties. My account is therefore necessarily incomplete. In the main I must rely upon my memory and on my personal experiences. Errors in detail are un- avoidable. But in spite of this, the following account may not be without value, nor perhaps without interest, since it shows how what is up to the the present greatest drama in our colonial history was enacted in the head of him who was destined to conduct the military side of it. I have endeavoured to set down my recollections of East Africa as they and thus at actually are, least to present what is subjectively corteet CONTENTS PART I EVENTS PREVIOUS TO THE ARRIVAL OF THE SOUTH AFRICANS PAGE CHAPTER I. : BEFORE THE OUTBREAK OF WAR ... 3 Reflections on the duties and purpose of the Protective Force.

  • The King's African Rifles
    The King's African Rifles Introduction Further to my article on The Battle of Tanga - 1914, I have studied the various African units participating in the First World War, and here follows a brief overview of one of the most famous African units - The King's African Rifles. The King's African Rifles, ca. 1916 1). Regimental Badge The King's African Rifles. From Regimental Badges by T.J. Edwards, Gale & Polden Limited, 1951. Formation The regiment was formed on 1 January 1902, and combined a number of units from various British East African dependencies - Somaliland, British East Africa (from July 1920: Kenya), Uganda and Nyasaland. At the formation, The King's African Rifles included the following battalions, which in principle existed until the independence of the various colonies in the 1960'ies. King's African Rifles2) Derived from Remarks 1st (Central Africa) 1st Battalion Central Africa Regiment. The Malawi Rifles (1964) Battalion 2nd (Central Africa) 2nd Battalion Central Africa Regiment Disbanded in 1962 Battalion 3rd (East Africa) Battalion East Africa Rifles (British East Africa) The Kenya Rifles (1963) 4th (Uganda) Battalion Uganda Rifles, from various African The Uganda Rifles (1962) companies 5th (Uganda) Battalion Uganda Rifles, from various Indian The Kenya Rifles (1963) companies 6th (Somaliland) Battalion Raised by local units in Somaliland Disbanded in 1910 6th (Tanganyika) Battalion Formed from ex-German askaris in 1917-18 The Tanganyika Rifles (1961) At the formation the regiment included 4.683 men, including 104 British officers.

  • Portugal in the Great War: the African Theatre of Operations (1914- 1918)
    Portugal in the Great War: the African Theatre of Operations (1914- 1918) Nuno Lemos Pires1 https://academiamilitar.academia.edu/NunoPires At the onset of the Great War, none of the colonial powers were prepared to do battle in Africa. None had stated their intentions to do so and there were no indications that one of them would take the step of attacking its neighbours. The War in Africa has always been considered a secondary theatre of operations by all conflicting nations but, as well shall see, not by the political discourse of the time. This discourse was important, especially in Portugal, but the transition from policy to strategic action was almost the opposite of what was said, as we shall demonstrate in the following chapters. It is both difficult and deeply simple to understand the opposing interests of the different nations in Africa. It is difficult because they are all quite different from one another. It is also deeply simple because some interests have always been clear and self-evident. But we will return to our initial statement. When war broke out in Europe and in the rest of the World, none of the colonial powers were prepared to fight one another. The forces, the policy, the security forces, the traditions, the strategic practices were focused on domestic conflict, that is, on disturbances of the public order, local and regional upheaval and insurgency by groups or movements (Fendall, 2014: 15). Therefore, when the war began, the warning signs of this lack of preparation were immediately visible. Let us elaborate. First, each colonial power had more than one policy.

    7/1/2020 #GreatWarInAfrica – Why were the British/Allied forces unable to dislodge the renowned German General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck in East Afri… Blog Editor August 4th, 2014 #GreatWarInAfrica – Why were the British/Allied forces unable to dislodge the renowned German General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck in East Africa? 2 comments Estimated reading time: 5 minutes Anne Samson looks at the reasons why ten British/Allied commanders could not defeat the renowned German General, Paul von Lettow Vorbeck in East Africa during World War 1. Most people, when you mention East Africa and World War One, immediately refer to German General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck and Allied commander General Jan Smuts. However, what is not generally known is that Smuts served in the theatre for only 11 months and was one of ten Allied commanders who led forces against Lettow-Vorbeck. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/africaatlse/2014/08/04/greatwarinafrica-why-were-the-britishallied-forces-unable-to-dislodge-the-renowned-german-general-paul-vo… 1/7 7/1/2020 #GreatWarInAfrica – Why were the British/Allied forces unable to dislodge the renowned German General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck in East Afri… Command of the British forces in East Africa was split between the Colonial and India Offices with the War Office keeping a watchful eye. The Admiralty was strategically involved, moving troops, blockading and engaging the enemy on water. So was the Foreign Office, responsible for keeping allies informed and on board despite differing, and sometimes conflicting, aims. Fierce rivals on the battlefield, General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck (L) and General Jan Smuts (R) became great friends later in life There had been some discussion about keeping the theatre neutral but this was felt to be impossible given the actions which had occurred by mid-September 1914.
