About the author
Frederick P. Gibbon was a British author whose known work spans historical adventure fiction, biography, and military history. Reliable catalog and library records connect him with books including The Disputed V.C.: A Tale of the Indian Mutiny (1904), The Lawrences of the Punjab (1908), and The 42nd (East Lancashire) Division 1914-1918 (1920).
That mix of titles suggests a writer strongly drawn to imperial and military subjects, especially British India and the First World War. His fiction leans toward dramatic historical settings, while his nonfiction turns to well-known military and colonial figures and to regimental history.
Biographical details about his life are not easy to confirm from the sources found here, so it is safest to let the books speak for him. What stands out is a body of work interested in courage, conflict, and the people who shaped British military history.
