Excerpt
‘My father he rushed forward—“Come on, men; we’ll save the old colours!” And they shouted “Hurrah!” as they made after him. There were guns going, and shells flying, and swords flashing and hacking away, and the enemy poured on with fiery red faces and gnashing teeth! My father drew his sword—and no one could stand against him, no one! He cut and he slashed, and heads and arms and legs rolled off as quick as lightning, one after the other. He got up to the colours, and with a shout he plunged his sword right through the enemy’s body that had stolen them! The enemy fell stone dead. My father seized the colours and looked round. He was alone! The other soldiers had been beaten back. But was he in a funk? No; he gave a loud “Hurrah!” picked up his sword, and fought his way back, the enemy hard after him. It was a race for life, and he ran backwards the whole way; he wasn’t going to turn his back to the enemy. He pressed on, shouting “Hurrah!” till he got to his own side again, and then he reached his colonel.
