Killed At Saarbruck: An Englishman's Adventures During The War (1870)

By Edward Legge

Book Overview

""Killed At Saarbruck"" is a memoir written by Edward Legge, an Englishman who served as a volunteer in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The book chronicles his experiences as a soldier in the British Ambulance Corps, providing medical assistance to both French and German soldiers on the battlefield. Legge's account is a vivid and detailed description of the horrors of war, including the brutal conditions of the battlefield, the suffering of wounded soldiers, and the emotional toll of witnessing death and destruction. The title of the book refers to an incident in which Legge was nearly killed by a shell while assisting a wounded soldier in Saarbruck, Germany. Despite the grim subject matter, Legge's writing is characterized by a dry wit and a keen eye for detail, making ""Killed At Saarbruck"" a compelling and engaging read for anyone interested in military history or personal accounts of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
