It will readily be believed that I have read this short history of the Armies of I ndia, written by Major Mac Munn and illustrated by Major Lovett, with the greatest interest. Having spent so many eventful years of my life in I ndia, and having been so intimately associated with the Indian A rmy, in peace and war, I think that no one is better able than myself to esteem that Army at its proper value, as regards what it has with the help of British training and example achieved in the past, or to appreciate what it is capable of doing in the future under the same conditions. And this intimate knowledge of its capabilities enables me to realize to the fullest extent the enormous responsibility which rests upon all who are concerned with the administration and handling of such a splendid and potent machine.
