With the Malakand & Buner Field Forces on the North West Frontiers of India 1897-1898

Autor The Viscount Fincastle, P. C. Eliott-Lockhart
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 aug 2015
A unique edition of 'A Frontier Campaign'
This remarkable book of military experiences on the North West Frontier of India during the last years of the 19th century was written by two young serving officers of the British and Indian armies. One was an officer of the famous Guides and the other an officer of the 16th (Queen's) Lancers who was also acting as a correspondent for the 'Times' newspaper. One of them, Alexander Murray, the Viscount Fincastle won the Victoria Cross in the course of the campaign. 'A Frontier Campaign' is an excellent account of the Malakand and Buner Force in action, but what makes this Leonaur edition exceptional is the addition of previously unpublished material from an album which also contains the original images that appeared in the first edition. This album remains in the possession of descendents of the Viscount Fincastle (upon the death of his father in 1907 the 9th Earl of Dumore). During the Second Boer War, The Viscount Fincastle raised a volunteer yeomanry unit, The 31st Battalion Imperial Yeomanry (Fincastle's Horse). This was a short lived regiment raised principally in the Scottish Highlands specifically for deployment in South Africa. Several rare photographs of this unit are held in the album and these have been appended to this new version of 'A Frontier Campaign' for the interest of all those interested in the appearance of the British Army during early 20th century.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
