Explorations in Abyssinia Details Frontier Delimitation by Major Gwynn
Major Gwynn led a Royal Geographical Society expedition in 1908 1909 to delimit the Abyssinian frontier from the Ganale and Raua river junction to the Sudan border. The 600 mile trek through Dire Dawa Addis Ababa Ginir and Takaba faced fever and animal losses. The party observed Abyssinian trade and the Alila concession while noting Galla and Somalis ethnology and potential for further scientific work.
