Synopsis
Old Soldier Sahib is like every man's real, ideal army book -- and it is the story of the author's own experiences as a Royal Welch Fusilier in India and Burma at the dawn of the 20th century before the Great War. He tells graphically of barracks life and the life of a recruit in England in the early 1900's, of Indian service, of the military men and routine and the round of events, amusing and dramatic and romantic in the British army.
Recounts with rare and brutal honesty the everyday life of a common soldier in the Indian Empire.
