Army Medical Service. Gwalior & Maharajapore 1843; Gold Coast of Africa 1847-48; Indian Mutiny 1857-58 (inc. Relief of Lucknow) & China 1860-61. Ladendorf (279) states: "Poorly written & gives no new information to history. Much detail on medical service & treatment of wounds" - but she is citing an Antheum [sic] review of 1898. Raugh (6511) adds: "Gordon was reportedly surgeon of the 10th Native Infantry during the Indian Mutiny. About 40 pages of his autobiography cover the Indian Mutiny, specifically the Joonpore Field Force, capture of Lucknow, & the Azimgurh Field Force." Orig. red cloth, gilt, sp. little sunned o/w VG.
