OLD SOLDIER\u2019S MEMORIES\nA dramatic Victorian military memoir by an officer who fought in the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny \u2013 and participated in the two reliefs of Lucknow.\nAs his title indicates, Captain Jones-Parry had a long and distinguished career at the heart of the British Empire at its mid-Victorian acme, and was often in the heat of the action. After serving in the Madras Fusiliers during the Burmese War of 1852-53 \u2013 when he was involved in the investment and defence of Pegu, Jones-Parry took part in the Crimean War in 1854-55 when he was Assistant Quarter-Master General of the 2nd Infantry Division supplied by the Turks, Britain and France\u2019s ally against the Russians. The author was stationed in India when the 1857 Mutiny broke out, and marched with General Havelock\u2019s column to relieve the siege of Lucknow. He took part in the storming and reduction of the Secunderabagh, Shahnujuff, and Tara Kotee, and returned to Lucknow with General James Out.
