From the author of the celebrated Great War memoir Old Soldiers Never
Die, Old Soldier Sahib is Frank Richards' account of his experiences
as a Royal Welch Fusilier in India and Burma at the dawn of the 20th
century. Richards recounts with brutal honesty the everyday life of a
common soldier in the Indian Empire, where prostitutes beckon, alcohol
flows freely, and deadly diseases threaten to strike down even the
hardiest of men.
