Battle of Mlali
The Battle of Mlali was fought during the East African Campaign of World War I. In mid-August 1916, the British, led by General Jan Christiaan Smuts, advanced three divisions from Kenya south into the Imperial German colony of Tanganyika to seize and disrupt their vital railway. Informed of the British movement by his scouts, the German commander Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck sent Captain Otto to investigate.
