Summary "Under England's Flag: From 1804-1809" by Charles Boothby is a historical memoir written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the experiences of Captain Charles Boothby, a soldier in the Royal Engineers, during significant military campaigns, particularly in the Mediterranean. The memoir offers an intimate look into his life, detailing the adventures, difficulties, and reflections on service and faith amid the trials of war. The opening of the memoir introduces Captain Boothby as he reflects on his experiences and motivations for writing. He expresses an awareness of his own mediocrity as a traveler but seeks to provide insights into his military life and the lessons learned along the way. As he prepares for an expedition, we see him torn between his enthusiasm for service and the sadness of leaving his family. Boothby shares vivid details of his military duties, his relationships with comrades, and the emotional farewells that accompany a soldier's life, setting a poignant tone for the memoir that will explore themes of loyalty, duty, and personal growth throughout the tumultuous times of war.
