PIONEER CORPS, THE

SCARCE item in the history of Rhodesia / Zimbabwe, the famous Pioneer Corps. (The equivalent of Australia’s ‘First Fleet’.)

Comprehensive book with a demographic analysis of the men of the Corps-where they came from,where they were educated,how many stayed and died in Rhodesia.A diary of the trek to Mashonaland,a nominal roll ,a schedule of the rations,pay and equipment issued.Invaluable book for research.

We, in Rhodesia, are very proud of the courage and achievements of the

Pioneer Corps, and the names, biographies and family trees of those

who formed this historic Corps should be on permanent record for

future generations to study.
