[1934]
Account by Lt. Col. Roland Charles Greenwood (1880-1949), then a Lieutenant, entitled
“Escape in the grass”, of persecution of the Dinka tribe by Arabs in Bahr al-Ghazal Province in 1909 and an escape by Greenwood from the Arabs. Copy of an original found in provincial headquarters, Juba in 1941.
This raid south of the Bahr al-Arab by the Rizeigat (Shaykh Ibrahim Musa Madibbu) is summarily reported in the February 1909 Intelligence Report, and Greenwood's full account was published in
The Messenger (Wau) and subsequently
Sudan Notes & Records in 1941 (vol. 24, p.189-196). A letter to the editor from F.O. Cave dated 17 July 1941 (vol. 25, no. 1, p. 162) records that
the account was written up by his cousin Greenwood in 1934 and copies deposited by Cave at Wau and Aweil.
