From the author's preface " I took part in some of the most desperate scenes in the Crimea — at the Alma I was one of those who led the way up the fatal Heights; at Inkerman I was in the thick of the fight and was wounded. I was beside that Christian hero Captain Hedley Vicars when he fell in his country's cause with the words on his lips, 'For England's home and glory, follow me!'. I was also engaged in those memorable struggles that were carried on night after night, and day after day, before Sevastopol, and was wounded a second time in that bloody attack on Redan in which a Norfolk man — the late General (then Colonel) Windham — gained an immortal name. In giving my experiences during that campaign I may in some respects be repeating an 'oft-told-tale', yet, as a personal narrative, it will, I think, be new to many and will afford information not elsewhere to be found." This book is illustrated with contemporary wood engravings. This book is from the library of Colonel Nicolas Davies. Queen’s Royal Regiment. Royal Regiment of Artillery. Secretary for Appointments and Chief Clerk, Duchy of Lancaster. Ref A5 7.
