Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Incidents and Anecdotes in the Life of Lieut.-General Sprot, Vol. 2: Honorary Colonel of the Princess Louise´s Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Just as I was finishing my first volume I met with a very bad accident, on 11th November 1905. While going round the garden as usual after breakfast, I went into the tomato house, to note which varieties I should retain for next year, and which reject. Looking up at the fruit then growing high near the roof, and noting what I should do, I did not observe that the lid was not properly fixed over the water tank lying under the gangway, and stepped sideways into it, wetting myself through, and in my fall very seriously damaging my right shin-bone, the periosteum of which was much injured. This resulted in my having three weeks in bed, four and a-half months on crutches, and two or three more hobbling along with the help of a stick. I had ultimately to go to London to consult a doctor, and there was nothing to be done but print off the first volume of my Autobiography, and, before proceeding, wait to recover from my injuries. That has now been quite accomplished, and, through the blessing of God, I am again restored to my usual health.
