A new book by Charles Drazin from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) takes the reader on a historical journey from a small village in rural Ireland to the farthest flung outposts of the early twentieth century British empire. Mapping the Past begins with the death of Charles' Irish-born mother; Patsy. The book tells the story of five young Royal Engineers - the author's grandfather and great uncles - as they travelled the globe mapping the British Empire, in the height of its pre-war pomp.
