Author Information

"Sir Lascelles Wraxall went to school at Shrewsbury and was a Dyke scholar there. On May 26, 1842, he left from St. Mary Hall, Oxford, but he didn't finish his degree there. He took over as third baronet from his uncle, Sir William Lascelles Wraxall, in May 1863. He lived most of his life on the continent after 1846. During the year 1855, he worked for nine months as a first-class assistant commissary in the Turkish force at Kerch in the Crimea. He was given the rank of captain that job. His book Camp Life: Passages from the Story of a Contingent (1860) talks about what he went through during this time. He put out a paper called ""A Visit to the Seat of War in the North"" before he went to the Crimea. It said it was a translation from German, but it was probably his own work. Wraxall kept being interested in things related to the military. In 1856, he published A Handbook to the Naval and Military Resources of European Nations. In 1859, he wrote The Armies of the Great Powers. And in 1864, he wrote Military Sketches, a book mostly about the French army and its leaders but also including parts about the Austrian army, the British soldier, and ""The Chances of Invasion."""
