Scope and content
He was pleased by the troops' reaction to the final service on board - "Singing good: and they listened well to my discourse." He had proceeded inland from Mombasa and had had meetings with General Hoskins, who had promised to "help all he can", and General Smuts, from whom he had acquired "a general idea of the campaign." Furse was now drawing up an itinerary which would enable him to meet as many South African troops as possible during his visit, despite the transportation difficulties caused by the rain and indifferent roads.
