This classic Henty novel tells of an adventure during the war with Flanders and Spain and specifically that of the fight of the Irish soldiers, who notably left Ireland to fight abroad largely due to English persecution. 

Written by G. A. Henty, an English novelist and war correspondent who is best known for a prolific output of historical and adventure novels, earning him his reputation as the most popular Boy's author of his day, and inspiring other other writers to attempt writing juvenile adventure stories in his style, including Herbert Strang, Percy F. Westerman and Henry Everett McNeil.
