Synopsis
It has been many years ... let me not admit how many ... I received the good news of my * to ensign in Her Majesty's 4th Infantry. My name, which had appeared on the Duke's statements for so long, with these words in the margin: Thorny question, was finally going to be entered in the monthly register of promotions and salaries. Since that day, I have been through all the vicissitudes of war and peace. The camp and the bivouac, the carefree gaiety of the mess-table, the distressing solitude of a French prison, the violent emotions of the field service, the monotonous existence of the garrison, also brought me their share of pleasures and of tests.
