Summary "A Soldier's Life: Being the Personal Reminiscences of Edwin G. Rundle" by Rundle is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative chronicles the author's experiences as a soldier in the British Army, detailing his journey from a carpenter in Cornwall to becoming a Sergeant-Major in Her Majesty's Leicestershire Regiment. The book captures a vivid portrayal of military life through various campaigns, encounters, and the evolution of the author’s character across his service. At the start of the book, Edwin G. Rundle introduces readers to his early life in Penryn, Cornwall, where he grew up in a teetotal household and initially apprenticed as a carpenter. Driven by admiration for the military, he decides to enlist in the 17th Leicestershire Regiment at the age of fifteen, marking the beginning of his military journey. The opening chapters recount his enlistment process, the challenges and rigors of army training, and his initial deployment experiences, painting a rich picture of both the camaraderie and hardships faced by soldiers during his time. Throughout his reminiscences, Rundle emphasizes the values of loyalty, duty, and the importance of continuous self-improvement that guided his progression in the ranks.
