Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Royal Engineer Forty-three years ago, seeing before me no chance of advancement - on the French principle of "reculer pour mieux sauter," I retired from the corps of Royal Engineers, after an apprenticeship in it for fourteen years. During rather more than a quarter of a century I had no communication whatever with it, and then only for a few days (in compliance with the request of General Sir John Burgoyne), to instruct its mounted train in the application of the South-American system of lasso-draught. When eighteen more years, one after another, had rolled head-over-heels over time´s cataract, during which time I had not the slightest communication with the corps, it resolved to give an honorary dinner to its East-Indian brother-officer, the Abyssinian General.
