Excerpt from The Defence of Plevna: Written by One Who, Took Part in It
The Defence of Plevna, by a certain Lieutenant von Herbert, whom, to my regret, I had never met. I am von Herbert, and I wrote the book you speak of, was the reply of the officer to whom I spoke.
The Defence of Plevna was given to me in 1895 by my old friend, the late Charles Williams, of the Daily Chronicle, whose experience of war, gained in seven campaigns, rendered him as fine a judge and critic of military operations as it is possible for any man who is not a professional soldier to become. He recommended me to read it attentively, and I followed his advice to the letter.
