This is the autobiography of a Victorian soldier of the 22nd Regiment (Cheshire Regiment) which was written for his children in the 1880s. This unique story written by a lowly Private and Bandsman was lost for nearly a century before being recently rediscovered. This truly fascinating story is now available for all to read and enjoy. Follow the story of a young Salford boy who joined the British Army and saw such far off exotic places as Malta, Mauritius and India. It is a story of romances, edge of your seat voyages, earthquakes, a somewhat arranged marriage to a native girl and many more adventures. The story has been kept to his spellings and phrases. This is an unique glimpse into the life of a mere Private in the Victorian British Army. It is also a story of a young boy living in poverty in Salford, enjoying riches abroad and then falling once again into poverty in the English railway town of Crewe.
