Letter, 28 Nov 1915.
One of circa 143 letters, 1913-1918 written by Capt Alexander F Wallace, a medical officer, attached A Coy, British South Africa Police, to his fiancée, Ethel (later his wife), World War One, East Africa (1914-1918).
Wallace describes false alarms triggered by a lion on the prowl. A cattle stampede was mistaken for a German attack at Ntunduma. He also refers to a defeat by the South Rhodesia Volunteers on the football field and writes in reference to their proposed marriage, ‘You will have to arrange to get angry sometime when I am about – before we are married – I ought to know properly about you – before I burn my boats!’.
