Excerpt from Kabul to Kumassi: Twenty-Four Years of Soldiering and Sport
"Often have I sighed to measure
By myself a lonely pleasure,
Sighed to think I read a book,
Only read, perhaps, by me." Wordsworth.
It has been my good fortune during my twenty-four years in the Army not only to have been constantly employed on Active Service but to have seen that service in many lands. I have, moreover, had rare opportunities of travelling off the beaten track in countries where big game shooting was plentiful, and have in consequence been able to indulge in that noble sport at the minimum of cost. It is in the hope that the story of these events may prove of interest to a few of my countrymen and, possibly, bring more clearly before them some still little-known portions of our vast Empire, that I have ventured to write this book. If by doing so I may succeed in bringing into the ranks of His Majesty's Army even one good recruit I shall not have written altogether in vain.
The illustrations have been drawn chiefly from my own descriptions, aided in a few cases by photographs or sketches, and those of big game shooting and fighting in Burmah or Ashanti portray the scenes exactly as they appeared to me at the time.
