Summary "Ten Years in India, in the 16th Queen's Lancers, and Three Years in South Africa" by W. J. D. Gould is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's military experiences during significant campaigns in India and South Africa, providing a personal perspective on the events that shaped those periods. Gould's narrative likely offers insights into the battles he participated in, the diverse cultures he encountered, and life as a soldier during that time. The opening of the book introduces the author's motivations for joining the military, rooted in childhood stories of valor shared by his father, a former soldier. It details his journey from England to India, highlighting the challenges faced during the voyage, including storms and shipwreck. Upon arrival, Gould describes the allure of India through vivid imagery, as he recounts his regiment's early days and the rumors of impending war in Afghanistan. The text sets the stage for the military campaigns and personal reflections that will follow, establishing both a historical context and an intimate connection to the events through the author’s narrative.
