Summary "Wilmshurst of the Frontier Force" by Percy F. Westerman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Second Lieutenant Dudley Wilmshurst of the Nth West African Regiment as he embarks on active service in the treacherous terrains of East Africa during World War I. The narrative delves into themes of courage, camaraderie, and the stark realities of war while introducing a vibrant cast of characters, including Wilmshurst's devoted servant, Tari Barl, and his fellow officers. The opening of the novel presents a vivid scene as Wilmshurst is awakened by his servant to prepare for active duty. The text introduces the harsh conditions of the tropical climate, the preparations for embarkation, and a sense of urgency as the regiment readies for deployment against German forces. In the meantime, Wilmshurst reflects on his older brother Rupert, who is missing in action, hinting at personal stakes intertwining with military duty. The camaraderie among the troops and the bond between Wilmshurst and his men are emphasized, setting the stage for the adventures and conflicts that are to unfold in the later chapters of the book.
