Abstract
SELDOM can there have been an instance of a task pursued so constantly, so indefatigably and with such zest through so long a life as by Sir Aurel Stein, who died on October 26, aged eighty. Oriental research, he acknowledged, had claimed him from his student days. More than that, the campaigns of Alexander the Great had fascinated him from first to last, so that he found a special satisfaction in following in his tracks, and, in some of his latest writings published since the beginning of the War in the Geographical Journal, turned again to the unravelling of his campaigns.
