Sinopsis

Experiences of a Light Dragoon

The author of this book, William Taylor, has left two books of his life as a cavalryman of the British Army during the early years of Queen Victoria’s long reign. This volume concerns his time-principally in India-in the ranks of the 4th Light Dragoons.

Taylor offers invaluable insights into the lot of an ordinary soldier posted to a far away and alien land for years at a time and his books are an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the British cavalry of the period or those with an interested in British India generally.
