This fascinating autobiography charts the military career of Lieut.-Gen. The Earl of Dundonald, a Victorian general of much renown as he himself writes:

“The MS. of these pages was written at various periods. It describes many matters in connection with my life in the Army from Cornet of Horse to Lieutenant-General, including my experiences in the Soudan War for the relief of Khartoum, and the South African War. It also contains a description of service in Canada, where as General Officer Commanding I was engaged in reorganizing the Militia; and it concludes with an account of experiment, observation and development in the utilization of smoke screens during the Great War 1914-1918.”
