About This Book

Two youths raised as brothers are separated when one makes a rash choice without consulting his guardians, setting in motion a chain of hardship and regret. The narrative follows his enlistment in the Nile relief expedition, portraying campaign marches, pitched battles, service with mobile units, capture and concealment, and a prolonged search for a missing companion. Episodes of daring, hardship, and narrow escapes lead to an eventual reunion and return home. The tale emphasizes duty, loyalty, the dangers of impulsive secrecy, and the value of confiding in trusted friends and family.
