The author had enlisted in 1901 in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and was a reservist when the First World War broke out. He rejoined his old, 2nd Battalion and landed in France with them on 11 August 1914. He went right through the war with the battalion, never missing a battle, winning the D.C.M. and M.M. Here is a typical soldier of the pre-1914 regular army, and this book is a delight, written in his own unpolished manner. Fighting, scrounging, gambling, drinking, dodging fatigues, stolidly enduring bombardment and the hardships of trench warfare, always getting his job done. This is one of the finest of all published memoirs of the Great War, truly a classic of its kind. A tribute to the army that died on the Western Front.

Memoirs of Brigadier General James Parker who, upon graduating from West Point, reported to Fort Sill in 1876 to fight the Indians. There is considerable information on the Kiowas and the Comanches and material on Ranald MacKenzie, buffalo hunts, the Ute campaign, the Navajos, the Geronimo outbreak, the Geronimo campaign, the Spanish-American War, the Philippine insurrection, military forts, etc. The memoirs are of importance as the lives of many military officers, who later went on to military prominence are discussed. The author also deals with the outlaws Babe Mahardy and Jim and John Anderson.

Excerpt from An Old Soldier's Memories Like another illustrious personage connected with the Principality, I was born at Carnarvon. For this I take no credit to myself.

This is a memoir of short stories, non-fiction and fiction, based on real live events of my two years in Vietnam in 1968-1970 as a helicopter crew chief on a UH-1H helicopter in slicks and medical evacuation (dustoff) helicopters, and as an observer in the scout helicopter.
