Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Queen's Shilling, Vol. 2: A Soldier's Story
It was at Claycliffe that the 14sth regiment found itself several years after the events. Re corded in the preceding chapters; not the Old 14sth, but a new battalion, raised during the Indian mutiny, of which a certain George Gaynor is colonel, and our friend Alured Frere adjutant. Our hero had been sent to the new levy as a treasure, and such his colonel found him. Active, industrious, and painstaking, merits invaluable to Gaynor, who toiled not, neither did he spin. Alured had his reward - a few curt words of approval in the reports of inspecting generals, while the colonel took all the credit.
