Diary 1906
Walter Harold Wilkin was born in Kent and made a career in the British military, rising to Major of the Sherwood Foresters. This diary is a handwritten daily account of his 1906 Nigeria expedition as Captain of approximately one hundred soldiers of the West African Field Force (W.A.F.F.) of the British Army. At this time in history, the British were intent on protecting their interests in African colonies against the infringing French. Wilkin moves from base to base with his company every day or two, beginning at Gombe along the Gongola River. He visits many small villages, including Birri, Gude, Gujba, Gabarua, Gertumba, Girboa, Mutui, Ngala, Gage, Ringe, Asharkar, Kupto, Yola and Kinafa. He notes on the 2nd of September that he had left England a year ago. Following that he travels the Niger River and eventually makes his way back to England. Within the diary Wilkin comments succinctly on his progress and difficulties through the bush, maneuvers, meals, his companions and the scenery. At the end is a list of military personnel.
