Captain R. H. Nelson, 1890. 'The march from Yambuya to Kavalli, on Lake Albert Nyanza, distant only 322 geographical miles in a straight line on the map, occupied Mr. Stanley's party above five months - from June 28 to Dec. 13, 1887 - travelling often by winding forest paths, and sometimes making but four or five miles a day, while the scarcity of food, with grievous sickness, dysentery, ulcers, and other miseries, reduced the men to extreme debility, and their number dwindled from 389 to 173 from deaths and desertions. The European companions of Mr. [Henry Morton] Stanley, in this march, were Lieutenant Stairs, R.E., from the Royal School of Military Engineering at Chatham; Surgeon Thomas H. Parke, of the Army Medical Service; Captain R. H. Nelson; and Mr. A. J. Mounteney Jephson...Captain Nelson, formerly of the Bechuana Field Force, is son of Mr. Henry Nelson, solicitor, of Leeds, and is a barrister of the Inns of Court'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
