Faca: An Army Memoir is a book written by Walter March in 1857. The book is a personal account of March's experiences in the British Army during the mid-19th century. The title Faca is derived from the Persian word for knife, which is a reference to the author's time serving in India. March's memoir covers a range of topics, including his experiences in battle, his interactions with fellow soldiers and officers, and his observations of the local cultures and customs in the places he was stationed. The book provides a unique perspective on the British Army's role in India during this time period, as well as the broader context of British colonialism in the region.Throughout the book, March reflects on the challenges and rewards of military service, as well as the toll it can take on soldiers' physical and mental health. He also discusses the political and social issues of the time, including the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and the tensions between British and Indian soldiers.Overall, Faca: An Army Memoir is a fascinating historical document that offers a firsthand account of life in the British Army during a pivotal moment in world history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
