""Sketches of the East Africa Campaign"" by Robert Valentine Dolbey is a historical book that provides a detailed account of the East Africa Campaign during World War I. The book is a compilation of sketches and illustrations made by the author during his time as a soldier in the campaign.

The book covers many aspects of the campaign, including the battles, the terrain, the people, and the animals of East Africa. The author's sketches capture the harsh conditions of the campaign, such as the heat, the dust, and the insects, as well as the beauty of the landscape and the wildlife. The book also includes descriptions of the various tribes and cultures of East Africa, and the author's interactions with them. Overall, ""Sketches of the East Africa Campaign"" is a fascinating and informative book that provides a first-hand account of a little-known aspect of World War I. The author's sketches and illustrations add a unique and personal touch to the historical narrative, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of East Africa, World War I, or military history in general.The veins of the arms we brought into service, that we might pour in this vitalising fluid. Day and night the fight goes on for three days, until it is won or lost. Here again, as in tick fever, we use the preparation 606, for which we are indebted to the great Ehrlich. Champagne is a great stand-by. So well recognised is the latter remedy that all old hands at tropical travel take with them a case of ""bubbly water"" for such occasions as these. Blessed morphia, too, brings ease of vomiting and is a priceless boon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
