A Military romance from the author of the popular Harry Lorrequer. Part Two begins: The night which followed the battle was a sad one. Through the darkness, and under a fast-falling rain, the hours were spent searching for our wounded comrades amid the heap of slain upon the field; and the glimmering of the lanterns, as they flickered far and near across the wide plain, bespoke the track of the fatigue parties in their mournful round; while the groans of the wounded rose amid the silence with an accent of heartrending anguish; so true was it, as our great commander said, there is nothing more sad than a victory, except a defeat.
