German Southwest Africa (present-day Namibia). The German East Section, under Maj. Glasenapp, advances in pursuit of the elusive Herero. Discovering a herd of cattle ahead, they move forward to capture it. Suddenly rifle fire emerges from the bush! As Germans feed forces into the fight, the denuded forces in the rear come under more rifle fire! The 4 companies of German infantry and marines have fallen into not one, but TWO ambushes! If the Hereros don't have their heads, the Kaiser certainly will!
