This volume by Judith Fingard I purchased when a Private in the 78th Highlanders and Gunner of the Royal Artillery. It gave some insight in interpreting how the life of most soldiers and civlians intereacted in Halifax during the last decades of British garrison in Halifax.
Even during some of our training lectures, it was noted that fights between soldiers and sailors were common place. Our waist belts would become weapons and wore and behold any soldier who couldn't pipeclean the bloodstains out of his belt for morning inspection!
