The last of seven true stories of travel and adventure, written and compiled by JULIA KEAY. Never Send a Son to India, My Dear
The story of Emily Eden with Narrator Richard Pasco
'We travel half the way on elephant and the other half on horseback, and we are followed by 850 camels, 140 elephants, several hundred horses,
George's official bodyguard, a full regiment as escort, and a whole host of camp followers.
Thus we are about 12,000 people in all. On occasions the front of the column arrives at the new camp before the rear of it has left the old.'
