Glossary. Note on the Illustrations. Published in association with the National Army Museum, London. Charles Allen (born 1940) is a British freelance writer and popular historian who lives in London. His British parents were both born in India and his prolific works focus on the British Raj. Allen's work focuses largely on India and the Indian Subcontinent in general. Although Captain Albert Hervey rose to the rank of Major General, this memoir covers his first impressionable years on the sub-continent in the heady days before the Indian Mutiny. Hervey vividly recalls his early experiences. From the duties of a young subaltern in barracks to a hard day's shikar in the padifields, from the giddy whirl of balls and mess nights to the chill of executions at dawn; and from the comic vexations of drunken servants to the medieval pageantry of an oriental army on the line of march. Hervey's evocations of a soldier's works is vibrant with the sights and sounds and minutiae of a way of life that seemed set to last for ever.
