Title: "With the Nigerians In German East Africa" by CAPTAIN W. D. POWNES. M.G

Description: 18 January 1917 Wounded in Action : Mkindu in German East Africa (Ta... Tanzania "The column was halted whilst two com- panies of the 1st Nigeria Regiment under Major Badham were detached, with orders to cross the Mkindu stream higher up on the right and attempt to outflank the enemy. As soon as Major Badham had moved off he became engaged, and a sharp action was commenced. The enemy's position was a strong one, and as usual the machine-guns played an important part, but the enemy were afraid of being cut off from their main body, which had fallen back some miles towards Ngwembe. They therefore gave up a strong position without a determined fight and withdrew south. By 11 a.m. the ist Nigeria Regiment occupied the position. Major Badham's casualties were light, and consisted of Lieuts. Newton and Young wounded, one native soldier killed, and seven others wounded. Mkindu was destined to be the home of the Nigerian Brigade for many weeks to come. "
