Condition: New. 2010 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1912). SB.xii + 218ppPublished Price £11.50 Described by the Daily Telegraph on its publication in 1912 as âBreezy, unconventional, garrulous and good-naturedâ the description of this book could equally well apply to the author of this fascinating memoir of Victorian military life in the Indian Mutiny and the China Wars, âCutting the cackleâ as Harris would put it, every page of this memoir has an arresting anecdote. One such is his memory of his first âbloodingâ in the Mutiny: âMy pay sergeant, Donovan, got another round shot, which took off his right arm high up at the shoulder, and the arm caught the adjutant, Coghill, right in the face. This incident, which when remembered in cold blood, is sufficiently horrible, seemed to me at the moment to be to be very amusingâ. After his Indian service, Harris was sent to China where he took part in the storming of the Taku forts and the looting of Pekin (todayâs Beijing) which won him his nickname âChina Jimâ from the amount of precious booty - including jewels, jade, and roills of silk - that he carried away. Although he denies that he stole more than his comrades, Harris admits to filling âseven large baskets with loot of various kindsâ. But when one of his Chinese coolies also turned his hand to looting, the unabashed author tells us, he was hanged. As a memoir of British imperialism at the arrogant peak of its 19th century heyday, this book cannot be beat!

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Puerto Rico's Fighting 65th U.S. Infantry. From San Juan to Chorwan. Previous owners name and address stamped to inside cover. Wear and a couple to tears to edge of D/J. Slight browning to D/J. Price clipped to D/J. In the second week of June 1951, the heights overlooking the village of Chorwan, Korea - the centre of the Iron Triangle - were taken by the all-Puerto Rican 65th U.S. Infantry Regiment. The Chinese withdrew to the North, and from that point on the war wound down to the peace table. This was the final combat action of the hard-fighting 65th, a regiment given little recognition outside of the Puerto Rican press. Nevertheless, one hundred and twenty-five of their number were awarded the Silver Star; four the Distinguished Service Cross. Their commander, General Harris, reaped praise and commendations from the highest sources for the action of his troops. Certainly no one is more qualified to tell their story. And this he does, with verve, wit, and enthusiasm. When first assigned to the 65th General Harris thought he was being relegated to the boondocks. From the start of training in San Juan, however, he rapidly changed his mind. In the Vieques maneuvers his men distinguished themselves against the experienced men of the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division. In combat they were fearless. All Korean veterans remember the bitter cold of the winters. To those used to warm climates, it was particularly gruelling, but the Puerto Ricans stood their ground. Here is a book to make every Puerto Rican proud. It is also an important eyewitness account of action in a war that has not been written about popularly but whose fighters certainly deserve as much recognition as soldiers in any war.
