Poet Under a Soldier's Hat

An historical biography of a British Officer during the last years of the Raj. Few people are still alive who can remember the British Empire. The author's father, Hugh Rose, served as a British Officer with the Gurkhas in India, and also with the Political and Foreign Service in the Hadramat, Iran and North West Frontier. She found the facts and details in his diary too fascinating to keep hidden, and wrote this biography in order to record a time in history now fading to the past.
