Synopsis
Excerpt from Pink and Scarlet: Or Hunting as a School for Soldiering
I have little to say by way of preface, except that a small experience of both hunting and of war having shown me how they dovetail one into the other - in the same way as the design on the title-page of this volume shows how readily their representative tools blend into a picture-and having seen also that the hunting man is already a more than half-made soldier, I have endeavoured to put my thoughts on the subject into words, in the hope that they may be of some use to those who have no experience at all.
In doing this my object is merely to assist the young soldier as regards his hunting, and to show him how he can make it the very best of instructors in his profession. I therefore utterly disclaim any intentions whatever of laying down the law on either subject.
I would also say that, owing to the receipt of orders to proceed on active service, I have been obliged to conclude very hurriedly, and have had no time to try and round off the many ugly corners of this amateurish production.
