Poet under a soldier's hat

An historical novel of a British Officer during the last years of the Raj. Few people are still alive who can remember the British Empire. The author's father, Hugh Rose, served as a British Officer with the Gurkhas in India, and also with the Political and Foreign Service in the Hadramat, Iran, and North West Frontier. She found the facts and details in his military memoirs too fascinating to keep hidden, and re-wrote them as a novel in order to record a time in history now fading to the past. The story is written in the 1st person, as though by the author's father, himself.--Adapted from the statement on Amazon.com.
