Servants of Empire by F R H Du Boulay
A memoir that offers a glimpse of late Imperial life. Ranging from General Gordon's Siege of Khartoum to the Boxer Uprising, the Boer War and World War One, it presents a record of the intersection of the lives of a single British family with the drama of world affairs.
'The lives of the Du Boulay children embraced many aspects of empire - government and military service, missionary work and settlement in India, the Middle East and AfricaThis excellent book opens a window on what the empire meant to men and women of an English middle class family.' - Francis Robinson, Professor of the History of South Asia, Royal Holloway College, University of London
