The Author
God of all nations! Sovereign Lord! In Thy dread name we draw the sword We lift the starry flag on high That fills with light our stormy sky.
PREFACE
In writing this book it has not been my purpose to compile a history of our Company, which would necessitate the gathering together of its records, which of themselves would be dry and uninteresting to the average reader, but such a narrative as would give to our friends a wider knowledge of our everyday life while in the service, and to my comrades that feeling of kinship so dear to the soldier's heart.
