battles out the 17ih day of june it was we marched from quaire bras the rain it fell aj heavily all jay as eer you saw and ion and weary vras the way till just as duk began we pitched our imouack upon the heights of moum st jean and 0thai night vras stormy still with lightning and with thunder as if the very ault of heaven would split itself asunder and there we lay all cold and thought if not in fear in sorrow offhosetbat ur had left at home and of the dark tomorrow no in beam shone upon that mom but dark and dull it rose and ienaed to scowl upon the earth as foes do on their foes and there we saw the french drawn up upon the other height with long dark linesofmen in blue and hi onets shining blight our centre was at la haye sainte in front of mount st jean just where the road fiom charlcroi that lcad to brussels ran our left flank rested on smouben our right upon marke braine with hongoitraont in front between the hilu upon the plain the duke bad placed in irougouraont lord sal ion and the g lards with the nassau sharpshooters about the little park and vsrdj but when te ivenrli came down the bill the the latter ran anav and left ihe guard to bear the brunt and honour of 1 lie day so ihe french wnt round and round the house and 1 oared and cursed and fired airtlwf tfttlhib lhb ifittdjiart on them till bob were fairly tired and ibe courtyard blazed and the grapeshot flew tifce mad though wall and wood but stout lord salion and 1 guards mill made their footing good then general voy ith the steel clad horse that tie r rencb call cuirassiers hashed on and charged ihe hollow squares of the guards and bruits wickers we did not care so much tor them but the french anillery it played point blank and swept lhelilei cf our squares most dismally soon they came guns cui rasters and column after column the oldest men from spain looked queer and thought it rather solemn but still our lads they kept their ground and ttood hoih stout and stiff while the french drew back like the broken wave from the foot of dove cliff and in the centre twas the same for there upon la have the frenchmen made a desperate charge and almost won the day the hamners fought well and when their shot was all expended they fell as soldiers ought to fall 011 the root they had defended so the french dragoons they gained the hill but picton met tin m there and the deadly puh of the british steel the rascals coiitd not hear and the gallant greys they leaped the hedge and then those cocks of game with the 98d made the french run faster than the carne the ground was brewed with mailed men in iron and in brass and as the chargers passed their hous run on the fallen eniias then picton fell in glorys arms wiib a bullet through hishralo i iknew sir thomas picton well for i served with him in spain at balfpat iixxapoleon made his lat severe attack whil double columns of his guards who drove oorligiit troops back they never yet had met their match o they thought ihe victory mire and they shouldered their arms and matched slung shouting vive lltupereur but oircarno 1 checked their march a bit and wien the gained the height the blood mock ifttl for there in front they saw an ugly sieit

began toshine twas worth his while for such a mght be neer again may see when down the bill like lightning whirled the horse artillery and the line advanced and ihe light dragoons they scoured across the field while tlii few of hie french that still remained stood but to die or yield we took 150 guns the prussians as many more and 40000 french lie there that shall follow the druni no more a grape shot split my arm and so with oilier i was sent and pit into the doctor hand at the hospital of ghent they amputated me and now im doing very ell 3 hut i do not grudge the loss of an arm when ive such
