A Gallant Grenadier: A Tale of the Crimean War
Brereton, F. S. (Frederick Sadleir)
Crimean War, 1853-1856 -- Juvenile fiction
That Crimean veteran has many scenes to look back upon. He remembers
his youth, his struggle to rise in the world, and the lifelong friends
he made in achieving his object. He recollects with a happy smile his
marriage, the toddlers who one by one made their appearance, only to
grow up and flit away like fledglings to form nests of their own. Yes,
he remembers all--that happy, gay old bachelor Joe, and his staunch,
true-hearted Tony. Sometimes, too, when he sits in his chair and
slumbers, he dreams that he is once again in the Crimea, and that his
comrades, having heard of the laurels he has won, are still carrying him
shoulder-high, and calling him "A Gallant Grenadier."
The End.
