Dust marks on top edge. The life of General Sir Archibald Hunter, a remarkable and formidable Victorian soldier who was promoted to Major-General at the age of 40 - the youngest man to reach this rank since Wellington. He planned and fought the battles that won the Sudan for Kitchener. He also served in the Boer War displaying great daring during the Siege of Ladysmith. Commanding 17,000 troops, he cleverly cornered and captured over 4000 Boer commandos. During WWI he was mysteriously sidelined, training Kitchener's armies.
