About the author

Reginald Hodder (1843–1908) is remembered chiefly through military history books that were later circulated widely in public-domain editions. Project Gutenberg lists him as the author of British Regiments at the Front: The Story of Their Battle Honours and Famous Fights of Indian Native Regiments, works that helped keep his name in print for modern readers.

His writing centers on soldiers, campaigns, and regimental identity rather than personal memoir. The books are presented as lively, accessible histories, celebrating battlefield reputation and service tradition in a style aimed at general readers rather than specialists.

Reliable biographical detail about his life appears to be scarce in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to treat him as a little-documented British author whose reputation now rests mainly on these military volumes.
