Joining the 31st Regiment in 1842, Colonel Robertson took part in the Sutlej Campaign from Moodkee to Sobraon. He was in the Crimea, and throughout the Mutiny he commanded a regiment of Light Cavalry, doing repeatedly the most gallant service. The incidents of life in Ireland and the Ionian Islands during the intervals of peace are worthy of ‘Charles O’Malley,’ and are described with something of Lever’s raciness of touch.
THE AFTERMATH OF WAR.
An Account of the Repatriation of Boers and Natives in the Orange River Colony.
By G. B. BEAK.
Demy 8vo. With Illustrations and Map. 12s. 6d. net.
The author, after serving nearly two and a half years in the South African War, was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Orange River Colony Repatriation Department, and subsequently Assistant Director of Relief under the Government. His information is thus not only first-hand but unique. The book is illustrated with some extremely interesting photographs.
‘The book is sure to become a standard work, for it throws a flood of light upon and solves many of the knotty questions of that period which have agitated men’s minds at home and abroad.’—Daily Telegraph.
