For Sale is a Full Page from "The Graphic, February 26th, 1898," showing a Drawing by W. T. Maud called "With the Buner Expedition : Taking Danger Lightly in the Tanga Pass."

"As the Royal West Kent Regiment climbed up the tanga Pass, rocks were hurled down at them from a chute which had been made on the heights above. Fortunately, the stone was soft, and split up into small piecesbefore it reached the path.  One big mass bounded uncomfortably close overhead, but a 'Tommy' rose to the occasion, and, pointing with his thumb at it, called out, "Ere, where's Joe Watson ? 'E's our backstop'".

Condition is Very Good.
