TO JAMES TALBOT POWER, MY OLD FRIEND AND SCHOOLFELLOW, I DEDICATE THE FOLLOWING PAGES.


Ere I attempt to set before the public this slight record of my experiences during the Franco-German War, I must first disclaim all pretence to literary merit.
It was written in 1873, and is simply an embodiment of a series of notes or jottings, taken during the war in my spare moments, together with the contents of a number of descriptive letters to my friends. They were written solely for them, and nothing was farther from my mind at the time than the idea of publication.
