Contains 142 period photos and drawings, in both black and white and colour of British and Colonial troops of the Victorian era.
Probably never before have the soldiers of one nation served so widely throughout the world as did those of the British Army during the Victorian era. From Cape Town to Tibet, from New Zealand to northern Canada, from the Khyber Pass to the jungles of Africa, the veldt of Zululand and the deserts of the Sudan, the British flag was planted in the face of frequently hostile nations. That these campaigns could be fought with comparatively few reverses is a tribute to the determination and ability of the small officer corps, and the heroism of the ordinary soldiers, both British and colonial, who served the `Queen-Empress'.
