The Battle of Beleaguer (or Agbéluvhoé or Agbeluwoe), also known as the Battle of Tsewie, was fought during the First World War between invading British Empire soldiers of the West African Rifles and German troops in German Togoland (now Togo) on 15 August 1914. British troops at the Togolese capital Lomé on the coast, had advanced towards a wireless station at Kamina, inland on hills near Atakpame. The only routes inland were by the railway and road, which had been built through dense and almost impassable jungle. Two trains full of German troops steamed south to engage the British and delay the Anglo-French invasion but were ambushed at Agbulovhoe, suffered heavy losses and fled, leaving of railway to the north intact. After a halt of three days to accumulate supplies, the British advance resumed, with support from French Tirailleurs Sénégalais. The German colonial forces were capable of only one more defensive action at the Battle of Chra on 22 August. The wireless transmitter at Kamina was blown up on the night of and the colony was surrendered the next day. ==Background==
