Charles Barrington pays tribute to his much-loved grandfather in this celebratory biography of army officer Guy Meade. Meade was commissioned into the Royal Horse Artillery in 1902 and served in J Battery in the British Expeditionary Force during the First World War, seeing action at Mons, Ypres and Fromelles. After the war, tours to Egypt and India preceded a return to Aldershot in 1934 and promotion to Commander Royal Artillery, his most senior rank.
