Remembered Today:

Meinertzhagen's credibility and the Battle of Tanga

I have noticed that a lot of secondary sources for the Tanga Battle reference Meinertzhagen's war diary's. At first they seem interesting and informative, but upon researching Captain Richard Meinertzhagen one finds out the latest scholarly review of him has him as a pathological liar and brutal psychopath. It makes me wonder if I should throw out all observations by him in regards to IEF B and the battle itself (or anything else for that matter). Anyone else have this problem with him as a source?
