Georg Gürich recounts his experiences at the outbreak of the First World War in German East Africa, in a British internment camp in South Africa and on the journey back to Europe. The narrative follows the disruptions of wartime travel through the perspective of a German geologist caught far from home.
The complete German-language memoir preserves the author's sequence of personal experiences, observations of places and accounts of captivity and return. Original maps and illustrations accompany the text. Published by Dietrich Reimer in Berlin in 1916, the work provides a contemporary personal account of wartime conditions in eastern and southern Africa.
