At Home and on the Battlefield is a collection of family history and military correspondence centred on the Stephenson family, particularly Sir Frederick C. A. Stephenson and related figures whose service spanned significant nineteenth-century military campaigns. The volume contains letters and observations from the Crimean War 1854 to 56, China 1857 to 1860 and Egypt 1883 to 87, offering contemporary perspectives on military life and imperial service.
The work combines family biography with first-hand correspondence, giving insight into both domestic life and military experiences across several campaigns. Illustrated with portrait plates and supported by editorial notes and appendices, the volume serves as both a military history resource and a family archive.
