"The Tale of a Trooper" by Clutha N. Mackenzie is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows the main character, Mac, who becomes a trooper in the Wellington Mounted Rifles during World War I. It captures the blend of adventure and personal transformation as Mac transitions from his life as a stockman to a soldier heading overseas amidst the chaos of war. The opening of the book introduces readers to Mac and his friend Charley, who are working on a sheep station in New Zealand when news of the war breaks. Their peaceful life is disrupted, and they feel an irresistible urge to volunteer for military service, contemplating the possibility of adventure and heroism away from the familiar hills and fields of home. Through vivid descriptions of their surroundings and camaraderie, Mackenzie sets the stage for Mac's journey as he prepares for the challenges ahead in a war-torn world, balancing a sense of duty with youthful excitement.
