Milford chronicle., 1901-06-14


tues. Anyone who has read the history
of the Crenean war, knows the suffering
that was endured, and the brave deeds
that we're done by men who had merely
the reputation of being the languid
"swells'' made famous by Punch; butter
flies whose conquests were simply those
of the ball room, and where marching
had only been to an admiring bevy of
girls on Regent street. And yet among
the six hundred at Balaklara there were
young men, spoiled darlings of society,
who faced Russian battering with a smile,
and rode to death as calmly and as
proudly as they would have done to
fox hunt. 1t was Wellington who said
that Waterloo was won upon the foot
ball grounds of Eaton and the men whose
heroism and sacrifice will always touch /
with glory the gloom and the horror Of
the Sepoy rebellion had at one time been /
the heroes of the drawing rooms of
Mayfair. He makes a mi take who sup
poses that because a man visits the thea
tire, lounges at the opera and dawdles at
the casino. or at some watering-place, he
is effeminate and dandyish 1t will yet
take centuries of adherence to social
rules and foudness for social pleasures to
smother the heroic spirit of the Anglo
Saxon.
