About the author
Born in Valletta, Malta, in 1854, Richard Stanley Hawks Moody was a British Army officer who later became known for his historical writing. He was the eldest son of Major-General Richard Clement Moody and went on to build a distinguished military career of his own.
Moody served with the Buffs (East Kent Regiment) and later with the Royal Irish Fusiliers, eventually reaching the rank of colonel. He is especially associated with Historical Records of the Buffs, East Kent Regiment (3rd Foot) 1914–1919, a detailed work that reflects both his firsthand military knowledge and his interest in preserving the record of a famous regiment.
Later in life, he was also a Military Knight of Windsor. He died in 1930, leaving behind a reputation as both a career soldier and a careful chronicler of British military history.
