Excerpt from On Active Service With the Chinese Regiment: A Record of the Operations of the First Chinese Regiment in North China From March to October 1900Every book, more or less, is written with an object of some sort, and this little one is no exception to this general rule.SO many unkind things have been said about the Chinese regiment, by people with no know ledge of the matter, that it has seemed advisable to place on record the doings Of the regiment on service, in the real hard fighting in Northern China in 1900, as they actually occurred, in order to Show that, though a regiment in its extreme infancy, fighting, under alien Officers and for an alien cause, against its own compatriots, its own Emperor, and his Imperial troops, it bore its part with the best, deserving none of the somewhat nasty things that have been put abroad about it but, on the other hand, more than fulfilling the high hopes formed Of it by its Officers, and by those in high military authority who caused its formation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
