Sunlight and Blue Shadow 1916-1919 - A soldier writes from India Selected and edited by Wendy Henningsson First book edition published 2001 ISBN 91-631-0957-3 - out of print Kindle edition available on Amazon   'What it is really like on a really hot day. What it is like when it really rains. The Palm trees, the great rivers, bridges over a mile long, the people one meets in the Bazaar... What a lot I could tell you' Four years as a soldier in India proved to be a trial of endurance for Private Edgar Phillips of the 25th London Regiment. His letters home to his family, which form the basis of this book, tell of the hardships caused by the climate, tropical fevers, marches and manoeuvres and - not least - homesickness.
