About the author

Charles Boswell Norman was a British army officer and writer whose work centered on war, empire, and military history. Sources identify him as a captain, note service connected with the 90th Light Infantry and the Indian Staff Corps, and describe him as a special correspondent for The Times in Asia Minor during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877.

He is known for books including Armenia and the Campaign of 1877, Tonkin; or, France in the Far East, Colonial France, The Corsairs of France, and Battle Honours of the British Army. His writing often focused on campaigns and rival empires, giving readers both factual detail and a strong sense of movement, conflict, and place.

Available reference pages indicate that he was born on January 9, 1846, in Calcutta and died in 1926. A reliable image source was not clearly available from the pages found, so no portrait is included here.
