[Cox, General Sir Herbert]
Historical Records of the 20th (Duke of Cambridge's Own) Infantry, Brownlow's Punjabis. Devonport: Swiss & Co., [1909]. 8vo, org. leather-backed boards (spine lacking), upper board lettered and decorated in gilt; 15 plates; provenance: gift inscription from Lieut.-Col. L.C. Dunsterville and the officers of the 20th to General Sir Herbert Vaughan Cox.
Cox was an officer in the British Indian Army and spent five years commanding the Punjabis. At the point of this inscription he would have been Deputy Quartermaster-General for India. Dunsterville served in British India until 1917, when he was sent to recruit Persians to fight German, Turkish and Bolshevik influences. He went to school with Kipling and was apparently the model for Stalky in Stalky and Co.
