Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Regiment, Its Campaigns and Battles: From 1862 to 1865 Thomas Carlisle makes a picture of "The Execution of The Twenty-Two," in the days of the French Revolution. Arriving at the scaffold they begin singing the Marsellaise - "March on, march on, the avenging sword unsheath." But the headsman´s ax was busy and swift, the defiant chorus wore away. As voice after voice was hushed, the chorus was weaker. It wore quite away. It had become a solo. It had become a silence. The time is coining when there will be none left to sing an army song with a voice made tender by experience. When a soldier dies, there is a historian lost. With the engrossing cares and duties of a busy life, I have found time at last to tell you what we did and how we did it. Hoping that I have in some measure succeeded in meeting the wishes of my comrades, and thus freshen their memory in the history of the Regiment and flag we followed, I give you one and all a cordial and fraternal greeting.
