A FIFTY-YEARS RETROSPECT

Abstract

On returning from India I was posted to the command of a depot company at Chatham, a kind of employment which has the advantage of giving one who has been serving in the East a complete change of ideas. The life was pleasant enough, though the duties were mainly of a routine nature. I was not sorry after a year of this agreeable enough life to be given a further change in the shape of special employment on the West Coast of Africa.
