About this book
Gazetted to the Buffs in 1841, Sir Charles Alexander Gordon, later Surgeon-General, looks back on a career that took him from Chatham to India and onward. The chapters run by year through the Gwalior campaign and the battle of Maharajpore in 1843, the Gold Coast in 1847 and 1848, the Indian Mutiny, the expedition to China in 1860 and 1861, the siege of Paris in 1870 and 1871, and Burma and Madras in the 1870s. It was published in London in 1898 and is inscribed to his wife and children.
