An intriguing account of the part played by the camel corps in the 1885 expedition mounted - too late, in the author s opinion - by the gladstone government in the forlorn hope of saving khartoum from the forces of the mahdi, and rescuing general gordon. Gleichen was an aristocratic officer of the grenadier guards seconded - to his great joy - to the camel corps from garrison duty in dublin. His book is a record of battles fought and won, of dangers run and difficulties overcome - and of ultimate frustration when the worst possible news arrives of gordon s death. En route the reader learns a great deal about the behaviour and management of camels. With four appendices on the camel corp s composition and losses, and illustrated with the author s own talented and witty drawings and a map.
