In 1909 there appeared in the Russian military journal, "Voenny Sbornik," twelve articles from the pen of a distinguished Russian officer. The writer--Lieutenant-General (then Colonel) Tretyakov--as commander of the Western Section of the Defences had taken a prominent and gallant part in the historic struggle for the possession of Port Arthur. His narrative--of which this work is a translation--placed before his countrymen, in simple and intimate language, his experiences at Nan Shan and within the beleaguered fortress. The impression created throughout Russia was deep and immediate. No more touching and direct appeal to judge its beaten heroes sympathetically and fairly has ever been made to a nation. Six thousand miles from the Fatherland the author's regiment, the 5th Siberian Rifles--and many another--fought to the death for God and the Czar. This plain tale is a fitting record of their soldierly devotion. As such we offer it to English readers, assured that every page must bring home the conviction that here we have the actual history of the fighting line--as perhaps nothing else in our language gives it.
