Item description from seller

Folding maps and sketch plans and a facsimile of sketch action. Black & white portrait frontispiece and 5 illustrations. Original publisher's cloth lettered and stamped in gilt, marked and faded, endpapers marked and soiled, half title has some insect damage, the book is slightly canted, but the text block is clean. 22 x 14cm. Better than it sounds. Colley served nearly all of his military and administrative career in British South Africa, but he played a significant part in the Second Anglo-Afghan War as military secretary and then private secretary to the governor-general of India, Lord Lytton. The war began in November 1878 and ended in May 1879 with the Treaty of Gandamak. After the war Colley returned to South Africa, became high commissioner for South Eastern Africa in 1880, and died a year later at the Battle of Majuba Hill during the First Boer War. Wikipedia.
