About this book
The text is headed A Soldier of the Empire, by Thomas Nelson Page, 1891. The text says it was his greatest pride in life that he had been a soldier, a soldier of the empire. A man known simply as The Soldier is described as the tall, erect old Sergeant with his white, carefully waxed moustache, and his face seamed with two sabre cuts.
Rarely an evening passed that some of the gamins were not to be found in the old man's kitchen, listening with ever-new delight to the story of his battles and of the emperor. The Sergeant was the youngest man in the company, and the sound of battle had brought back all his fire. The text says that cries, curses, cheers, shots, and blows were mingled together, and clear above all rang the old soldier's war-cry, For France, for France.
