A propos de cet article

Compiled from Official Sources in the Intelligence Branch, Quarter Master General Department, Simla. Foolscap 4to. Three maps at the rear, two of them folding. Somewhat browned throughout, ?half-title partially removed and the stub used to repair loss to the lower quadrant of the title page, no loss of text. Overall very good in later tan Indian half calf on plain cloth boards. [iv], 6pp. "Notes and Corrections." dated 26th November 1883. 114pp. Simla, Government Central Branch Press, [20th February] Scarce, we have been able to trace only the copy in the Military Deptartment, Library of the India Office Records (L/MIL/17/17/46). Stated print run of both the Précis. and the Notes and Corrections. is 100.   Grierson served as Deputy Assistant Quarter Master General (for Intelligence) with the Indian Contingent in Egypt. He saw action at Kassassin and Tel-el-Kebir. He was subsequently DAA & QMG at Suakin, 1885, DAQMG on the Hazara Expedition, AAG at HQ in South Africa, DAG in China on Count von Waldersee's Staff.   A cosummate professional and exemplary modern soldier; "Grierson's great knowledge of languages, his strength, energy, capacity for work, and extraordinary memory, enabled him to acquire a vast knowledge of his profession. He admired the British private soldier, and was apparently beloved by his troops, for though strict as regards training, he spared them unnecessary duties by thinking out his problems in advance and making provision for all reasonable comfort and relaxation. Although early service was chiefly on the staff, he wrote in 1914 that he would rather command a battalion in war than be chief of the general staff. He was of a cheerful disposition, a good musician, an amateur actor, and fond of travel and society, but he really lived for his profession, and was devoted to the army."
