About the Book

All References And Statistics Concerning The Indian Army Will Be Found To Relate To The Pre- War Establishment; And No Class Of Sepoy Is Included Which Has Been Enlisted For The First Time Since 1914. At The Outbreak Of War The Strength Of The Army In India Was 76,953 British And 239,561 Indian. During The War 1,161,789 Indians Were Recruited. The Grand Total Of All Ranks Sent Overseas From India Was 1,215,338. The Casualties Sustained By The Force Were 101,439. Races Which Never Enlisted Before Enlisted Freely, And The Indian Army List When Published On The Conclusion Of Peace Will Be Changed Beyond Recognition. The Intro- Duction Of The Gujar, Meo, Baluchi And Brahui, For Instance, As Separate Types, Would Be An Error Of Perspective In A Volume This Size. It Is Hardly Necessary To Differentiate The Gujar From The Jat ; The Origin Of The Two Races Is Much The Same, And In Appearance They Are Not Always Distinguishable. The Meo, Too, Approximates To The Merat. The Baluchi Proper Has Practically Ceased To Enlist, And The Sepoy Who Calls Himself A Baluch Is Generally The Descendant Of Immigrants. There Is Also A Scattering Of Brahuis In The Indian Army. They And The Baluchis Are Of The Same Stock, And Are Supposed To Have Come From Aleppo Way, Though In Some Extraordinary Manner Which Nobody Can Understand The Brahuis Have Picked Up A Dravidian Accent.

His Fictional Tropes And Settings Are Comparable In Many Ways To Those Of Rudyard Kipling, A Writer Whom He Self-Consciously Imitated. Candler Was Educated At Repton School And Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Where He Graduated In Classics In 1895.Candler Embarked On A Career In India Which Was To Last Intermittently For The Next Twenty-Five Years. He Aimed To Finance His Literary Ambitions By Teaching, And Was First Employed By A School At Darjeeling In The
