Younghusband is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the formation and valiant actions of the Queen's Own Corps of Guides, an irregular military unit established in the mid-19th century during the tumultuous era of British colonial rule in India. Younghusband aims to showcase the unit's role in various military campaigns, emphasizing the courage and resourcefulness of its members, particularly its early leaders and soldiers. At the start of the narrative, Younghusband introduces the inception of the Guides, led by the innovative Sir Henry Lawrence, who sought to create a more adaptable and effective fighting force. The opening chapters describe the challenges faced by these early soldiers, their training under the daring Harry Lumsden, and their initial combat experiences as they navigate conflicts in the rugged terrain of the Indian frontier. Through lively anecdotes and inspirational tales of bravery, the author sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Guides' adventures, laying a foundation for an engaging story of loyalty, military strategy, and the evolving nature of warfare during this period.
