=FORTY-ONE YEARS IN INDIA FROM SUBALTERN TO COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.=
By Field-Marshal LORD ROBERTS of Kandahar, V.C., K.P., G.C.B.,
G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E. New Edition in One Vol. With Forty-four
Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo. 10s. net.
_TIMES._--“A vivid and simple narrative of things actually seen by
a fighting man who, during forty-one years of Indian service, saw
more hard fighting than almost any other Englishman of our time.
It also records the experience of a military administrator who has
conducted historical campaigns and been the presiding genius in the
reorganisation of a great Army. But to the general reader, perhaps,
its chief charm will be glimpses which it gives, with a certain
Cervantes-like _naïveté_, of the personality of the author. A hundred
unconscious touches, in the camp, on the battlefield, and at the
council-table, reveal to us the veritable hero of the British private,
and the fearless leader of men whom every native soldier would follow
to the death.”
