First Edition
First Thus. Octavo. 23.5cm. Publisher's orange cloth boards, titled in black to spine. Dustjacket. 187pp. Strong and tight, but visibly sunned to spine and edges of binding, and a little bumped to the head of the spine. The priceclipped dustjacket is similarly sunned to the spine, and has some light marginal wear, but shows very well. A very good, presentable copy. Internally clean, with some annotation and emphasis to the text from an informed reader, presumably Angus Thurmer. There is a 2 page letter from Major General Lunt, dated January 1971 on Ministry of Defense notepaper, to Angus Thurmer at the US Embassy in New Delhi, discussing the book and the editing work and apprising Mr. Thurmer of his current status. Major General Lunt CBE had a prominent and successful career in the British Military, spending a significant part of his career in India, including a stint as Military Adviser to the High Commission, there is a note on the title page to the effect that the book's attentive reader played Polo with Lunt whilst he was stationed in Delhi. The first edition of "From Sepoy to Subedar" was published in 1873, then languished forgotten for almost a century until Major General Lunt, in his role as accomplished "Old India Hand" decided a new edition was called for. Primary source material for the period from native Indians, is relatively thin on the ground, spanning as it does Subedar Ram's memories of the Afghan Wars (the first two), the retreat from Khabul, the subsequent trials and tribulations of a soldier's life, and the post-"mutiny" changes to the leadership and administration of India and how badly that went. A fascinating account, which should be ranked alongside "Confessions of a Thug", and Lady Florentia Sale's Journal as insights (with all faults) into the nature of life in and under the British Raj.

xxix, [1], 186pp, [1]. Numerous illustrations in the text by Frank Wilson. Original publisher's red cloth, lettered in gilt, pictorial dustwrapper. Lightly rubbed. Internally clean and crisp. Presentation copy, inked inscription to recto of FFEP: 'For / Field-Marshal Lord Slim / with respect and good wishes / from the Editor and Illustrator / of these memoirs, who fought / under his command in Burma / James Lunt / Major General / London / 11 September / 1970'. The memoirs of of a native officer of the East India Company's Army, covering a span of more than forty years of active service, first published in an English edition in 1873, after translation from the original Hindi. Field Marshal William 'Bill' Slim, first Viscount Slim (1891-1970), British Army officer. Slim joined the army at the outbreak of the First World War and fought in the Dardanelles, France, and Iraq. In 1920 he received a regular commission and joined the Indian army, in which he served throughout the interwar period. At the beginning of the Second World War, he participated in the British conquest of Italian East Africa (1940). In 1942 he was appointed to command the 1st Burma Corps, conducting the retreat from superior Japanese forces that had overrun Burma. In 1943 he was given command of the 14th Army, with which he stabilised the front of the first Arakan campaign (February 1944), arguably up to then the worst-managed British offensive operation of the war. In consequence Slim devised new tactics adapted to jungle warfare, using aerial resupply and guerrilla warfare to assist his efforts in pushing the Japanese out of Burma. Rangoon (Yangon) fell on May 3, 1945, and in June Slim was made supreme Allied commander of ground forces in Southeast Asia. Following the war, in 1946, Slim was appointed commandant of the Imperial Defence College, and in 1948 became chief of the Imperial General Staff with a promotion to field marshal. He served as governor-general of Australia from 1953 to 1960. His memoirs, a personal narrative of the Burma campaign entitled Defeat into Victory (London, 1956) are a classic of the genre and amongst the best thought of campaign histories of the Second World War. Size: 8vo.
