| Summary | "Recollections of a Military Life" by General Sir John Adye, G.C.B., R.A. is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's personal experiences and observations during his extensive military career, particularly focusing on notable campaigns, including the Crimean War. Sir John Adye provides insights into both the military operations and the human elements within those experiences, serving as a valuable record for readers interested in military history. At the start of the narrative, Adye reflects on his early life and military beginnings, sharing anecdotes from his childhood and initial training at the Royal Military Academy. He introduces his family’s military heritage, detailing the service of his grandfather and other relatives in various campaigns, which sets the stage for his own career. This establishes a foundation of personal history and familial duty, leading to his commissioning as a second lieutenant. Adye's tone is nostalgic and reflective as he transitions from peaceful days to the tensions of impending warfare, hinting at the trials and tribulations he would face in active service.
