30-31 August 1918: The Battle of Lioma—The British King's African Rifles cornered & very nearly encircled the Schutztruppe & Askari of Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, outnumbered & cut off from resupply by the rest of the German Empire for four years, at Lioma, in Portuguese Mozambique; though badly mauled & thrown into chaos, the Germans once again managed to escape, living to fight another day.
Lest we forget.
