400 pages, limp cloth covered boards – faded and dull, text illustrated with biblical scenes, some foxing and browning.

In a Preface Field Marshall Garnett Wolseley (Commander in Chief of the British Army during the first year of the of the Boer War) states, 'In my opinion, there could be nothing more suitable for the spiritual comfort of a soldier on active service than this Testament. The size permits him to always carry it in his khaki jacket pocket, and each soldier who possesses a copy will have something of far greater value to him than the proverbial marshal's baton.'
