Full Text
He is a very young officer, a minor, and, as it seems, not much of a hero. In the battle of Alma, he threw himself on the ground, and screamed--"I am frightened: I can't fight." Lord Raglan sent him word that in the next battle he was expected to distinguish himself by his gallantry, that his cowardice might be forgotten. But at Inkerman he again behaved as cowardly; two officers, therefore, were sent by the general-in-chief to cast away his epaulets, to break his sword, and kick him out of camp. He returned to England a disgraced man, his family disown him, and the clubs are closed against him.
