Prender's Progress A Soldier In India 1934-1947
By John Prendergast
Published by Cassell: London 1979 1st Edition

" Prender's Progress: A Soldier in India 1934-1947 by John Prendergast is a firsthand memoir that offers a vivid account of military life in British India during the final years of the Raj. Drawing on his experiences as a young officer, Prendergast describes his training, early service, and the challenges of adapting to the heat, culture, and complexities of the subcontinent. His narrative captures both the routine and the adventure of garrison duty, exercises, and social life, while also reflecting on the broader political changes as India moved steadily toward independence.

The book also follows Prendergast's wartime service during the Second World War, when India became a crucial base for operations in Asia. He recounts the campaigns, camaraderie, and hardships faced by soldiers, offering insights into both the strategic importance of the region and the everyday realities of military service. By blending personal recollection with historical context, Prendergast provides a unique perspective on the twilight of British rule in India. His memoir stands as both a soldier's story and a window into a transformative period in imperial and military history."
