A Victorian Son
Stuart Cloete

Interest: Biography, War, First World War, Soldiers, Military, Infantry, History,

Never before had the clock of progress moved so fast as during this period (1897-1922). Empires dissolved in the acid of new liberties. Millions died in the greatest war the world had ever suffered. More millions were liquidated or displaced in the name of freedom as the seeds of anarchy, which we reap today, were sown.

This is the life story of a survivor of those times, when even survival was an achievement. It is a story of thoughts, moods and action: of vanished beauties, of pretty girls who are now grandmothers, and young men who are mostly dead; of fine horses, of dogs, of books, of country days and war. A kaleidoscope of changing memories, hopes and regrets which together comprise the life of a man — any man and his times.
