A compelling account of this campaign undertaken by Major-General Sir Henry Colvile, an English soldier. In 1893 he succeeded the late Sir Gerald Portal as Commissioner for Uganda, commanding the Unyoro Expedition which resulted in the inclusion of that country in the Protectorate. For this, he received his major-general promotion as well as the Central Africa Medal and the position of Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George.
