Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Roberts: A Biography On this particular ship was a lad of nineteen, small and delicate to look at, so delicate indeed that older people shook their heads and talked of the folly of his facing a tropical climate.' But underneath the apparent delicacy lay a vigorous spirit and a wiry constitution, the love of a simple, hardy outdoor life, the hatred of anything like luxury or coddling. For young Frederick Roberts was every inch of him a soldier's son, and India, the land of his birth, was the land which called him. He came of a fighting and of an Irish stock, and what better combination could be found as an heritage for one destined to be the greatest soldier of his age His great-great grandfather, a Huguenot refugee, settled in Water ford, had fought for England at the battle of the Boyne. Two of his uncles had been in the navy; the one, Sir Samuel Roberts, who had been in fifty three actions, having commenced his adventurous career at the age of eleven, and afterwards had per formed deeds of daring which carry us back to the days of the Elizabethan sea-dogs. And his father, Sir Abraham Roberts, who lived to the age of ninety, has been called the patriarch of Indian Generals, and was a man of strong character, sound sense, and great tact, who won a high reputation for the manner in which he handled critical affairs in Afghanistan.

Book excerpt: AUTOBIOGRAPHY and its half-brother biography are two of the most useful members of the great family of literature. Lord Roberts placed a high value on their services. His own fascinating Forty One Years in India and his careful study of the Rise of Wellington are sufficient proofs of this. Throughout his long life, Roberts always retained his youthful affection for John Nicholson. Nicholson impressed the author more profoundly. He was the beau-ideal of a soldier and a gentleman. The author acknowledges him in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Roberts, K. G., V. C One has to begin at the beginning, however, and those who are fond of dates will doubtless be ih terested to learn that the future field-marshal was born on September 3oth, 1832, not quite hye years before Queen Victoria, whom he was afterwards to serve so well, came to the throne. Both his father and his mother (a very beautiful woman) were Irish. The former, as we shall see, was a fine soldier of the old East India Company's Army, who afterwards became General Sir Abraham Roberts, g.c.b. Roberts was born at Cawnpore, which he was to revisit twenty-five years later under very tragic circumstances. He was brought home to England at the age of two, and, when two years later, his parents returned to India, they left their child, as many Anglo - klian fathers and mothers are obliged to do, in the care of friends. N owadays the separation is seldom a very long one. In the case of little Frederick Sleigh Roberts an interval eight years was to elapse before he saw his father again.
