Description

This original study depicts the Scottish soldier as an "empire builder". Drawing from a wide range of sources, including soldiers' writings in the provincial press, it examines how military achievements contributed to a growing sense of national identity and a deepening imperial commitment from the Crimean War to the end of the nineteenth century.
