Wonderful display and collection.

For those who may be interested, the first edition of Churchill's book on the subject, The River War, was severely edited to remove comments Churchill thought would be politically damaging, and was never reprinted in totality. Copies of the first edition are rather pricey, usually running to four figures.

However, it is available online for those who can tolerate the idea of reading a few thousand pages on thier computer screens. Here's a link:

Very nice. That crocodile skin dagger is something I never seen before. Thanks for sharing.
