About the author
Reginald Hodder (1843–1908) wrote military history aimed at general readers, with a particular interest in British regiments and their traditions. The works securely linked to him in library and public-domain records include British Regiments at the Front: The Story of Their Battle Honours and Famous Fights of Indian Native Regiments.
His writing seems to have focused less on abstract strategy and more on vivid regimental identity—battle honours, nicknames, and episodes of service that helped shape unit reputations. That makes his books a useful window into how military history was being presented to popular audiences in the years around the early twentieth century.
Reliable biographical detail about his personal life appears limited in the sources found here, so it is safest to present him primarily through his published work: a historian and compiler of martial narrative whose books kept the memory of British and Indian regimental service alive for a wide readership.
