About this book
Life in an Indian Outpost is by Major Gordon Casserly (Indian Army). The book describes a train that drew up at a small station of one low, stone building, with a nameboard bearing the words Buxa Road. The book describes a major, whose men are the detachment of the Punjabi Regiment being replaced, expressing extreme pleasure in meeting the man who was to relieve him and enable him to quit a most undesirable place.
The book describes a man who sat up, cocked his rifle and held it across his knees. The book describes the tramping of some heavy animal over the dry leaves towards the narrator, with the exclamation The tiger at last! When the narrator shakes hands with them, one man says they have been looking for a fellow in the Indian Army, and in answer he says they only mean to kill him with kindness.
