January 4, 1918 - Famed Explorer Frederick Selous Killed in East Africa

Pictured - Selous was the archetypal Victorian explorer, a great hunter and sportsman, and the inspiration for literary figures like Allan Quartermain.

In a minor skirmish on January 4, 1918 in East Africa, a German sniper shot and killed Frederick Selous as he crept through the bush. Selous was an eminent Victorian, a great figure of the period of European exploration in Africa. First going to South Africa at age 19 in 1872, he began a lifelong career in the bush, wandering through the continent, particularity in the land that would become Rhodesia, and today Zimbabwe.

A good friend of the like-minded American Teddy Roosevelt, Selous was in his mid-60s when the First World War broke out, but volunteered in a battalion of similar men, the 25th Frontiersmen, soon nicknamed the “Old and Bold.” After his death in January 1918, the enemy commander, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, sent a personal apology to the British. His old friend Teddy eulogized him as the ideal Victorian man:

“He led a singularly adventurous and fascinating life, with just the right alternations between the wilderness and civilization. He helped spread the borders of his people's land. He added much to the sum of human knowledge and interest. He closed his life exactly as such a life ought to be closed, by dying in battle for his country while rendering her valiant and effective service. Who could wish a better life or a better death, or desire to leave a more honourable heritage to his family and his nation?”
