a question for Ed

[Ulsterman]

a friend of mine gave me a book yesterday, "The Army In India And Its Evolution":1924 printed in Calcutta by the Supndt. of Govt. Printing.

Any thoughts as to the usefulness and accuracy of this work before I start reading? Is it worth my time?

[Ed_Haynes]

If it is the book I think it is, it is not so bad. You must, of course, take it in the context of the time (post-War, post-regimental integration, and a time of rebuilding and redefinition in the context of a growing anti-imperialist challenge) in which it was written, but it is still of value. Not serious historical scholarship, but worth having and worth reading. I have it on the shelves and sometimes graze in it.

Hope that helps.

It does-

Thankee!
