E-text prepared by Al Haines

Transcriber's note:

There is no author cited on the book's title page; however,

the book's spine shows "A Field Officer"

Page numbers in this book are indicated by numbers enclosed

in curly braces, e.g. {99}. They have been located where page

breaks occurred in the original book. For its Index, a page

number has been placed only at the start of that section.

Footnotes have been renumbered sequentially and moved to the

end of their respective chapters. The book's Index has a

number of references to footnotes, e.g. the "(_note_)" entry

under "Boer War." In such cases, check the referenced page

to see which footnote(s) are relevant.
