Yaunde

The Allies' next movement was an advance in three columns against Yaunde, where they fought two little battles January 27-28, 1915, and seized the post of Bersona.

On October 26, 1914, Edea was taken without resistance, and the enemy retired to Yaunde, a station far in the interior.

Meanwhile the French force had been working its way toward Yaunde, occupying the station of Dume on the way.

In April the advance of the French and British troops forced the Germans to transfer their seat of Government from Buea to Yaunde.

The Germans had transferred their capital to Yaunde, which was made the objective of converging attacks by British, French, and Belgian columns from north, east, and south.
