General Gatacre - The Story of the Life and Services of Sir William Forbes Gatacre, K.C.B., D.S.O., 1843-1906

Assured of worthiness, we do not dread Competitors; we rather give them hail And greeting in the lists where we may fail: Must, if we bear an aim beyond the head! My betters are my masters; purely fed By their sustainment I likewise shall scale Some rocky steps between the mount and vale; Meanwhile the mark I have, and I will wed. So that I draw the breath of finer air, Station is naught, nor footways laurel-strewn, Nor rivals tightly belted for the race. God-speed to them! My place is here or there; My pride is that among them I have place: And thus I keep the instrument in tune. The main object in laying this book before the public is to provide an authentic narrative of Sir William Gatacre's work in South Africa. At the time of his recall no despatch giving the reason for this step was published, but a letter dealing with this matter has since appeared as an Appendix in the Official History of the war; it is with reluctance that I have been persuaded to reprint this letter at the end of this volume. It seemed, however, that Sir William's previous career was such a large factor in determining any opinion regarding his later work that some account of the man and his surroundings from the beginning would not be without interest. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
