THE
'SCOTS BRIGADE'

AND OTHER TALES

BY

JAMES GRANT

AUTHOR OF 'THE ROMANCE OF WAR'

'The dying and dead strewed the breach at Meenen,
Where our brave Scottish blades met the troops of Turenne;
When cannon and firelock and musketoon played,
As often, elsewhere, on the old Scots Brigade!
Holland's Bulwark—in many a battle of yore—
From the woods of Brabant to the far Frisian shore;
Never Frenchman, nor Spaniard, nor German essayed
To withstand the hot charge of the old Scots Brigade!'
Camp Song.
