The head-dress is another most important article; this, however, is fully treated on in the paper marked A., as well as the other particulars of dress, camp management, &c, in the " suggestions," to which I trust not to be thought presumptuous in drawing the attention of the Commissioners. There are some other material points which I trust to be excused for drawing more particular attention to, viz., the tender age at which recruits are enlisted and at once put to work. This most unwise and impolitic measure may be unavoidable during the press of war, but it is even then of doubtful utility, and as a general rule no soldier should be sent to India under the age of twenty, and after two yearstraining. I do not here mean so much the training to arms as to the new life that has been entered upon in becoming a soldier, and in which there is a more sudden and complete change from a former existence than is generally supposed. Another essential point of a similar nature is the change of board-ship life on the voyage out, during which, from want of proper management, exercise, &c, &c, the foundation of many diseases is laid, and this was never more fully shown than during the China expedition of 1842-43. Her Majesty's 26th (Cameronians) and 98th Foot suffered fearfully from these causes, together with an injudicious choice of encamping ground and standing camp (of the former), yet none of these precautionary measures were taken, or even attempted, which must have presented themselves had the officers been versed in that knowledge of sanitary science I have very grave doubts as regards the advisability of the intended and soon-to-be-adopted measure of the relief of troops from India by the Overland route. The sea-voyage to India round the Cape...

Book excerpt: This account of the 1867/68 campaign is by an officer of the 3rd Dragoon Guards, one of the regiments involved, and in the introduction he states clearly that his aim has everywhere been impartiality; his object truth. He begins with a brief but informative historical background to the country of Abyssinia, going back to the earliest days and leading up to the reasons for the despatch of an expedition against the Christian Emperor Theodore III. Briefly, the British Consul, Captain Cameron, was sent home by Theodore with a letter to Queen Victoria which reached the Foreign Office in February 1863 but, due to Foreign Office cack-handedness never reached the Queen. The lack of any response and a visit by Cameron (after he had returned from England in January1864) to the Egyptian frontier town of Kassala infuriated the Abyssinian monarch who had Cameron and his staff thrown into prison. The British made a belated effort to retrieve the situation through an emissary, Mr Rassam, who arrived in January 1866 but hefully described by the author, and he is not slow to criticize. Then follows a detailed account of the advance of Napier s force, a sharp action at Arogi in which Abyssinian losses amounted to about 1,900 of whom 700 were killed with British casualties numbering twenty wounded, two of whom died. After this the prisoners were released, but Napier pressed on to the capital, Magdala which was captured and the fortress destroyed. Theodore committed suicide. The final chapter looks back over the campaign, describing the withdrawal of the force and including an interesting examination of the cost and the reasons why it exceeded expectations.
