The East African Campaign was a series of battles and guerrilla actions which started in German East Africa (now Tanzania) and ultimately impacted portions of Mozambique, Northern Rhodesia, British East Africa, Uganda, and the Belgian Congo. The German colonial forces, led by Lieutenant Colonel Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, skillfully fought for the duration of World War I and surrendered only after that war had ended. Other campaigns were conducted in West and South West Africa.

The Masonic record shows his name as Horace Edward in the Ledgers of the Lodge at the United Grand Lodge of England, but in the 1921 book it reverses the names to Edward Horace. He is initiated in 1913 and listed as a 39 year old Works Foreman, resident in Southall. The contribution columns show his dues, with no explicit exemptions for war service and a final annotation of "Died Dec 1915." There is a reference to "1919" in the same line, but it is not clear to what it refers to.
