Mr. Kipling's Army: All the Queen's Men - Softcover
The outrageous, but often glorious, story of Britain's pre-World War I Army.
This is an upstairs-downstairs view of the Victorian-Edwardian army, one of the world's most peculiar fighting forces. The battles it fought are household words, but the idiosyncracies and eccentricities of its soldiers and the often appalling conditions under which they lived have gone largely unrecorded. Byron Farwell explores here the lives of officers and men, their foibles, gallantry, and diversions, their discipline and their rewards."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
