Real Soldiers of Fortune

The narrative centers on Henry Ronald Douglas MacIver, a distinguished soldier of fortune with a remarkable military career spanning multiple countries and conflicts. Notable for his striking appearance, including a sabre cut on his forehead, MacIver served in significant roles from the Sepoy mutiny in India to the Civil War in America and beyond. His life story, originally chronicled in "Under Fourteen Flags," reflects a legacy of adventure and valor, now expanded to encompass even more military engagements, warranting a potential new edition titled "Under Eighteen Flags."
