Item description from seller

No stated date but believed to be 1976 and presumed first edition. [x], 94pp., a portrait of the author and many other full-page and in-text black and white illustrations. We believe the author of this book to be Major John Gordon-Duff (1899-1996), who attended Winchester and Sandhurst and had a distinguished military career. He also wrote several short collections of memoirs. The present volume is written for his granddaughter, and concentrates on the small things of every day life and behaviour which were different in the "olden days". It includes chapters on Winchester and Sandhurst, Ireland and Chanak, England, India, Sudan and Rifle Depot, and Canada. The book is bound in the original blue cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is very good condition with some shelf wear and a few light marks to the boards. The contents are tight and clean with a date (1978) and a stain from a small removed name and address label on the front free endpaper. John Beauchamp Gordon-Duff was born on 15 February 1899 at Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, England.3 He was the son of Archibald Hay Gordon-Duff and Lady Frances Blanche Fortescue.1 He married Ellen Susan Williams, daughter of Hon. Charles Platt Williams, on 9 November 1937. He died on 24 October 1996 at age 97 at Tenbury, Worcestershire, England. He was educated at Winchester College, Winchester, Hampshire, England. He fought in the First World War, where he was wounded. He was educated at Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Berkshire, England. He was Aide-de-Camp to the Viceroy of India between 1926 and 1930. He fought in the Second World War, where he was mentioned in despatches. He was Assistant Military Secretary to Field Marshal Gort between 1942 and 1945. He was appointed Member, Order of the British Empire (M.B.E.) in 1944. He gained the rank of Major in the Rifle Brigade. He held the office of Deputy Lieutenant (D.L.) of Aberdeenshire between 1945 and 1964.…
