Printed by _Ballantyne, Hanson & Co._ London & Edinburgh THE QUEEN'S SERVICE BEING THE EXPERIENCES OF A PRIVATE SOLDIER IN THE BRITISH INFANTRY AT HOME AND ABROAD BY HORACE WYNDHAM LATE OF THE --TH REGT. Crown 8vo, cloth. Price 3s. 6d. _The Academy._--"A really excellent budget of information about Army life in all its aspects. We can cordially recommend it to all who take a personal or patriotic interest in the army." _The Daily Mail._--"A particularly interesting and instructive book about army life in its varied aspects. Even Mr. Kipling may learn a great deal from these enlightening pages." _The Daily Telegraph._--"The book is full of excellent suggestions on matters both great and small, and should prove of much interest to the general public. Mr. Wyndham gives a bright and amusing as well as a faithful record, and he renders a real service in bringing home to us the daily life of the men in the Queen's service." _The Spectator._--"As a description of a phase of existence very little known outside the Army itself, and in its inner details only vaguely surmised even by the most careful officers, we think it ought to be very interesting to many readers both inside and outside the Army. In all his views the author is wholesome, sane, and intelligent. His discussion of the position of gentlemen in the ranks, and scornful repudiation of the idea of a 'regiment of gentlemen,' are both interesting." _The Speaker._--"Mr. Wyndham's book has, in a high degree, the qualities of truthfulness and modesty; the author makes it his business to tell an unvarnished tale, to put life itself upon the page; and we may safely say that the result of his endeavour is a narrative which can be neglected by no judicious writer upon the subject of life in the British Army during recent years." _The Pall Mall Gazette._--"Life as a soldier has been described several times before, but never with such effect as in this handy and interesting volume. The interesting matter and common sense contained therein thoroughly recommend it to all interested in the welfare of the Army." _Literature._--"It is to Mr. Wyndham's advantage that he is throughout in perfect touch with his subject, instead of treating it from the _olim meminisse_ standpoint, which is generally misleading and sometimes insincere. Another point in his favour is that he is up-to-date. His work, as a whole, will probably hold good for some years to come, as not only a readable narrative but also a substantially accurate work of reference."
