Description

For centuries army wives and daughters have gone to some of the most treacherous places in the world, following their men to the cholera-ridden valleys of the Crimea, the sweltering plains of India and the inhospitable Burmese jungles. Drawing on letters, journals and interviews, Following the Drum vividly brings to life their amazing stories and tells of the daily tribulations of barrack life, the romances and scandals, the hostile natives and devoted servants as well as the personal tragedies, hopes and ambitions of these brave and resourceful women.
