From Colonel to Subaltern (Country Life, 12s. 6d.) is a

most amusing and rather unusual book by Colonel MeTaggart, who is well known, of course, to all who have had anything to do with training horses or recruits. The illustrations are deliciously funny, and the letters of advice on hunting, riding a point-to-point, jumping, &c., have wit as well as wisdom.
