This memoir chronicles the life and military experiences of the author, who rose from humble beginnings in a poorhouse in Suffolk to a commissioned officer in various regiments, including the infamous 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers. The narrative not only recounts his numerous adventures and challenges faced during his military service, particularly in India, but also delves into his personal struggles and triumphs through a life marked by determination and resilience. The opening of the memoir introduces us to John Shipp's early life, marked by hardship and misfortune after losing his mother at a young age. Thrust into a poorhouse, he quickly demonstrates a wild spirit and a longing for adventure, becoming enchanted with the idea of military life after encountering a recruiting party. Shipp’s narrative style is engaging and candid, filled with humor and keen observations about his surroundings and experiences. This sets the stage for a life of adventure as he enlists in the army at a young age, embraces the discipline of military life, and endures the trials and tribulations that come with it, all of which promise to reveal a riveting journey of extraordinary military service as the memoir unfolds.
