The Lives of a Bengal Lancer - first US edition book; 4th printing dust jacket

by F. Yeats Brown

Story of a young subaltern of 18 years of age who joins the British colonial army in India. Made into a classic B&W movie a few years after it was published.

Book is rust brown cloth with silver and flat gray stamped lettering on the spine and front board, with a lance also stamped on front board.  Hard to find first edition book is VG with slightly bumped corners.

Jacket is in near fine condition, no chipping, but alas, is a fourth printing jacket which somebody added at a later date. Spine edges are darkened from UV damage, but the jacket is still very nice looking, considering its age.
