author
A British army surgeon and traveler, he left behind a vivid late-19th-century account of Burma drawn from years of official service there. His writing blends memoir, observation, and travel narrative in a way that still feels immediate.

by C. T. (Charles Thomas) Paske
Charles Thomas Paske is best known for Life and Travel in Lower Burmah: A Retrospect, a travel memoir published in 1892. The book presents his recollections of official residence in Burma and was later edited for publication by F. G. Aflalo.
The surviving title pages and library records describe him as Deputy-Surgeon-General C. T. Paske and note that he had served in the Bengal Army. That background helps explain the book's mix of practical detail, medical officer's eye for daily life, and curiosity about the landscapes and communities he encountered.
Little widely available biographical information appears to survive online beyond his military title and authorship of this book. What does come through clearly is his interest in recording place, custom, and experience for readers at home, making his work a useful snapshot of British-era Burma as well as a personal memoir.
