Urgent Imperial Services is Volume 4 in the Ashanti Publishing series 'South African at War'. It details the Union of South Africa’s involvement in what was then German South West Africa during World War 1. This is a campaign that has been largely ignored by the historians of the First World War as it was overshadowed by the carnage of the Western Front.
