Personalities and Institutions of the British South Africa Police
Over nearly seven decades the chronicles and happenings of the British South Africa Police, together with the experiences of ordinary members of the Force, have been recorded in the Police magazines. First there was The Police Review, founded in 1911, then the Rhodesian Defence Force Journal during and after the Great War years, then, in 1923, The Outpost for the remainder of the Force's existence. Several books have been published over the years reproducing articles from the magazines. This is another such one. In addition to articles from the magazines of the early days of the Force there are also some memoirs not previously published which will be of particular interest to those who serve...
Nyasaland Operations During the World War, 1914-1918
Young's Nyasaland Operations manuscript was entrusted to the Society of Malawi in 1955, likely in the hope the Society would benefit by its publication. Now edited with commentary and annotations by Melvin E. Page, his accounts and personal recollections are at last available to a wider readership, offering a further perspective on the Great War as experienced primarily by Nyasaland's European population. The Great War in Africa Association is pleased to offer this compliment to the previously published Chiwaya War Voices which provides further reflections on the First World War through the eyes of the Protectorate's African inhabitants.
British South Africa Police
Wilfred Bussy was the Editor of the Police Review who and published a series of articles covering the early history of the BSAP. The fact they were written soon after the events described, by a serving member, adds an immediacy which is of value. Starting in 1886 Bussy describes the various units which, after many campaigns, eventually evolved to form the British South Africa Police. The events of the Matabe and Mashona uprisings are covered in detail as also is that other great active service period of the BSAP in early years, the Anglo-Boer War. Written in a highly readable style, this is a valuable contribution to the history of the BSAP.
A Father's Revenge
The author of this book, Peter G. Fitzgerald, was born in Manchester, United Kingdom. Early 1949 his family immigrated to Harare, Zimbabwe (formerly Salisbury, Rhodesia). Peter attended school in Salisbury. On leaving school he worked on a farm near the town of Norton, forty miles west of the Capital. One of his goals was to understand the local African language. In 1959 he joined the BSAP (British South Africa Police). After intensive training he was transferred to Bulawayo to pursue his chosen career which encompassed many areas of Policing. He rose through the ranks to the level of Licensing Inspector. In1977, whilst on duty, he suffered serious brain injury and part paralysis by a hand grenade thrown in an anti terrorism action which ended his career. It was important for him to try and record his memories of the BSAP and his family as far back as he could remember, and to see, at the same time, whether he could cope with drafting this book. It is the author's deepest wish that others, who are in the same situation, will be inspired to do something similar as a form of therapy. The author, who still needs daily assistance, now lives in the United Kingdom.
