Gowing is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book presents a personal narrative of the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny, and the Afghan campaigns from the perspective of a soldier, T. Gowing, who served in the Royal Fusiliers. The work aims to provide insight into the realities of war, illustrating the sacrifices made by soldiers and the costs of these conflicts in both blood and treasure. The opening of this narrative sets the stage for Gowing's experiences as he reflects on his early life and enlistment into the military. He recounts his motivations for joining the Royal Fusiliers amidst the excitement of impending war, describing the fervor of the British public as troops prepare to embark for the East. Gowing shares vivid recollections of his voyage, the camaraderie among soldiers, and the initial encounters with the harsh conditions of military life, including disease and the relentless march toward conflict. These foundational experiences establish a personal lens through which Gowing will detail the brutal reality of battle, his encounters in fierce fighting, and the enduring legacy of his fallen comrades.
