The Road of Donkey Bones

The extraordinary story of Captain Llewellyn Wynne Jones’ 1918 service in East Africa told through his personal military campaign diary and photograph albums. 

Llewellyn’s granddaughter, born some 36 years after his death, researches his military life and family history to uncover the fascinating, courageous and ultimately tragic story of his life. 

The book is beautifully illustrated with original photographs from Llewellyn’s campaign albums and from a rich family photographic archive. It includes family artefacts, letters, newspaper reports and interviews which combine to bring this exceptional young man’s few years to life once more 100 years on.
