A Soldier's Life: Being the Personal Reminiscences of Edwin G. Rundle

In recent years we have had many books on military history, most of them chiefly devoted to the wars which have marked the extension of the British Empire. In Sergeant-Major Rundle's narrative we have the interesting story of how an honest English boy became attracted to the colors; how the British army lives, moves and has its being in the British Isles and in the Dominions beyond the seas; how that boy rose by honest effort to the highest non-commissioned position in that army; and most interesting of all, his experience on foreign service when his regiment took part in the Trent affair and Fenian raids, following the close of the American civil war.
