Remembering Today features 16489 Guard Carroll, East African Railways, whom the CWGC site identifies as W. Carroll who is buried in a grave in the Dar Es Salaam War Cemetery.
East African Campaign followers may be interested in these two images. They show damage caused when a withdrawing German demolition party dropped a bridge with a train on it, and rolling stock that other withdrawing Germans buried in 1916 but which was not discovered by the British authorities until 1957.
"Permanent Way Volume 1 - The Story of The Kenya & Uganda Railway" and "Permanent Way Volume 2 - The Story of the Tanganyika Railways", both by M.F. Hill, describe railway activities in East Africa during the Great War years.
