- Summary
- "[This book contains] ... letters from a young Dundee surgeon who had volunteered to serve with the British Army during the Crimean War 1854-1856 ... There is very little about the much-documented chaos of the campaign and the misery in the British Military Hospital in Constantinople. Instead we have this young doctor's first-hand ... comments on the events that took place around him"--Preface.
