Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Lord Roberts, K. G., V. C A chapter deals with a record of the veteran's last glorious campaign - a campaign against the ignorance of the country, against the apathy of the country, and against a long standing prejudice of the country. By his bold action he knew he had embraced the unpopular side; he had entered upon a bitter and feverish contest which would demand a considerable amount of toil; he would have to encounter bitter Opponents and at times meet a hostile auditory. But every consideration of mere prudence was absorbed in the great ruling passion - the safety of England - England that to me has been so much; England that for me has done so much.

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.

Download or read book Lord Roberts written by Violet Brooke-Hunt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Lord Roberts of Kandahar V C written by Walter Jerrold and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Roberts of Kandahar, V. C: The Life-Story of a Great Soldier N 1881 a public speaker referred to Sir Frederick Roberts, as he then was, as the most popular man in England, and there was no exaggeration in the statement. The fame of the great soldier's triumphant march from Kabul to Kandahar was, of course, then fresh in men's minds. To-day, when the story of that march is nearly twenty years old, it has come to be the lot of the man who was its dominating spirit to enter, at an age when he might excusably have been looking towards the quietude of retirement, upon such a task as has not fallen to any other military leader of our time. The task which Lord Roberts has undertaken in South Africa is likely to make many readers wish for some slight out line sketch oi his career, that they may have, in brief compass, the record of the achieve ments which won for, and maintain Lord Roberts in, the position of one of the most popular men of his time. Such outline is all this small book pretends to be. Lord Roberts has himself, in his fascinating volume, Forty-one Years in India, given us.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Military Needs and Military Policy In conclusion, I desire to express my gratitude to Lord Roberts, who has done me the honour of contributing an introduction to this book. Lord Roberts has correctly interpreted and anticipated my earnest desire that he should not make himself responsible for the controversial portions of this work. That is a burden which must fall on my shoulders alone, and I am content now, as always, to bear it. But it is a great encouragement and stimulus to me to be able to print these kindly words from the ffield Marshal. Lord Roberts has done more than any living man to make the people of this country realise that there is a danger, and that all is not well. His great name and fame have given weight to his words, and have made millions of men who never gave a thought to these matters before think about our military problem, and about the peril in which we stand. As one who shares to the full Lord Roberts's belief, and who, though far less competent to commend it to others, is not less sincere in his desire to impress his countrymen with the gravity of the situation, the author ventured to ask Lord Roberts for his assistance. The introduc tion to this volume is the kind and generous response. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Causes and Consequences of the War of 1914 As this book goes to the press, Belgium, the importance of whose existence as a factor in the maintenance of European peace can not be overestimated, is in the possession of Germany. If this occupation is continued, it means that forty miles instead of three hundred and forty miles will separate Germany from England, and that the little island will, while that condition continues, be in danger of being over-run by the invading forces of her Teuton neighbor. England is not adapted to the permanent maintenance of a large body of regular troops. Such a burden would impose an impossible drain upon her industrial life. She has regarded distance from her most powerful continental rival as one of two indispensable attributes of safety; her fleet was the other.- No treaty with Belgium or France had to be invoked to spur Britain on to war when the littoral of the English Channel was menaced by German occupation.
