E-text prepared by Stephen Hope, Jen Haines, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Captain Desmond, V.C." by Maud Diver is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Honor Meredith, a spirited young woman traveling to join her brother in the Punjab Cavalry, where she embarks on a life filled with adventure, independence, and the complexities of military family dynamics on the Indian frontier. The novel promises exploration of themes including courage, relationships, and the cultural conflicts faced by British expatriates in colonial India. The opening of the book introduces Honor Meredith as she travels through the rugged landscape of India's northwestern frontier. As she reflects on her journey and her eagerness to connect with her brother, who is unwell, we are given insight into her character—idealistic, brave, and accustomed to the expectations placed upon her as a woman in colonial society. The arrival at her destination brings about a mix of excitement and trepidation, especially at the thought of meeting Captain Desmond, her brother’s highly regarded commanding officer, whose reputation precedes him. The story hints at the challenges and relationships that will develop as Honor navigates her new life in this harsh yet captivating environment.
