About the author
Reginald Hodder is credited on public-domain editions as the author of works including British Regiments at the Front: The Story of Their Battle Honours and Famous Fights of Indian Native Regiments. Those books present military history for a general audience, with an emphasis on campaign stories, regimental identity, and dramatic episodes from battle.
The name can be confusing in library records: some speculative-fiction reference sources identify a different writer, William Reginald Hodder (1867–1926), a New Zealand journalist and novelist who also published as Reginald Hodder. For the author listed here as Reginald Hodder (1843–1908), the clearest confirmed details available from the sources I found are the dates used in catalog records and his authorship of military-history titles issued in the early 1900s.
Because biographical information appears to be limited or mixed with that of the later William Reginald Hodder, it is safest to remember him chiefly through the books themselves: energetic, patriotic historical works written for readers interested in soldiers, campaigns, and the traditions of the British Army.
