Fairly easy to read. Produced by Gail J. Loveman, David Starner, Dave Morgan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "With Kelly to Chitral" by Lieutenant W.G.L. Beynon is a detailed historical account written during the late 19th century, specifically set around the Chitral campaign of 1895. The narrative offers an intimate glimpse into the daily lives of British officers and Indian troops involved in a military expedition to Chitral, focusing on their experiences, challenges, and interactions rather than sensational events or heroics. The main character, Lieutenant Beynon himself, serves as a staff officer and recounts the myriad experiences faced by the expeditionary force, providing readers with a personal and often humorous perspective on military life in the challenging frontier. The opening of the book sets the stage for Beynon’s journey to the front lines, beginning with his unexpected deployment to the Gilgit area after a casual exchange about going there. He introduces readers to his initial feelings of adventure juxtaposed with the mundane realities of military life, including the logistics of preparing for the march and managing supplies. Beynon describes the weather, the landscape, and the character of his fellow officers and soldiers, painting a picture of camaraderie amidst challenging conditions. His voice is light and humorously self-deprecating, setting a tone that suggests readers will learn as much about the human experience in wartime as they will about the specific military operations themselves.
