The life of an ordinary soldier in Queen Victoria's army.
Corporal Johnnie by John Butterworth & Jane Marshall
Sometime in the early 1890s Johnnie Butterworth disappeared from his Rochdale home after a family quarrel. He was not heard of again for months, probably several years. Then, in 1896, a letter arrived at 32 Yorkshire Street from `Corporal John Butterworth, Kings Royal Rifles, Jullundur, NW India'. For the next four years regular correspondence between Johnnie and his family would reunite the family.
