rarpos Posted 1 February , 2006 Share Posted 1 February , 2006 I have recently obtained some medals that belonged to a member of the West African Frontier Force, Nigeria Regiment. He died/was killed in Cameroon during April 1915, and is buried at the Limbe Botanical Gardens Burial Ground. Can any forum members suggest books/articles/etc that I can use to obtain insight into fighting in this area? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Dunlop Posted 1 February , 2006 Share Posted 1 February , 2006 Farwell's 'The Great War in Africa' will give you quite a good summary. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 1 February , 2006 Share Posted 1 February , 2006 I'd recommend "The First World War in Africa" (Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-925728-0) by Hew Strachan as one that gives a good background to a largely forgotten theatre of war. It devotes roughly 40 pages to the campaign in the Cameroons. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
