Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sporting Trips of a Subaltern
The following pages do not pretend to relate any very long or adventurous hunting trips; most of the sport described comes within reach of the great majority of subalterns. As, however, my career in that capacity gave me consider able Opportunities of making the acquaintance of big game in several parts of the world - oppor tunities of which I availed myself to the best of my powers - I have thought it worth while to Oopy out my diaries that I always kept up on hunting trips, and commit them to print. My thanks are due to major-general H. R. Abadie, c.b., for allowing me to use some photo graphs taken by his son, the late Captain G. H. F. Abadie, during our hunts together in Borgu. I am also indebted to the editor of the Badminton Magazine for leave to reproduce some articles that have already appeared in its pages.
