Lieutenant John Chard: What's our strength? Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: Seven officers including surgeon, commissaries and so on; Adendorff now I suppose; wounded and sick 36, fit for duty 97 and about 40 native levies. Not much of an army for you.

Anyone read the above book? I love to read books where you get accounts from the people themselves so was wondering if this would be a good one to tuck into.

david yes yes yes and yes, Superb book. In similar vein, if you can find it is 'Rorkes Drift by those who were there.' By forum member Lee Stevenson and Alan Baynham Jones.
