This is an anthology of stories about (in broad terms) ghosts of soldiers. Many are quite old, including several by Kipling about ghosts of the (Brtish) INdian Army --in one case, a regiment who mutinied in the Indian Mutiny (aka War of Independence) (there is a feebler story on the same war by the Hardwicks) , and one including my favorite character, Terence Mulvany. There is a Manly Wade Wellman story about Confederate ghosts, a story by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch about ghosts of British soldiers shipwrecked on the Cornish coast and others. ( )

Another anthology, about ghost soldiers. Some stories by current SF/Fantasy authors, some by older authors - I really like the Kipling story (but then I'm a rabid Kipling fan anyway). Um...the first Kipling story, the second one is kind of flat. A couple 'true ghost story' bits, some parts of stories - there's a Dilvish the Damned story by Roger Zelzany, which inspires me to seek out those stories not at all. There's also one - "The Spectre General" - by Theodore Cogswell that definitely _does_ inspire me to look out for more by him - I've never heard of him except with this story, but it reads like a slightly more sensible Laumer. Very like Retief but not quite as far off the beam...I think that's the story that made me keep the book in the first place; it's certainly the reason I'm keeping it now. ( )
