Rezensionen

"The author has filled a gap in the early years of Northern Rhodesia dominated by WWI. No-one before has brought together so much relevant material in such a concentrated form. ... The author is to be warmly congratulated for his contribution to such an important part of Northern Rhodesia's social, imperial and military history and on the painstaking research entailed." (Roland A. Hill, The Overseas Pensioner, Issue 111, April, 2016)
