BRITISH OFFICERS AND MEN.

the relation that exists, and in due degree has
always existed. between our regimental officers
and their men. In its origin this intimacy,
which must not be confounded with mere ia
miliarity, is no doubt ascribabe to our political
institutions, but it has been nurtured for cen
turtles through iunUmerable wars until it has
grown into a thing apart Every EngShman
knows that there are no more gallant soldiers
than the French, both officers and men, and
yet the insolent old saying that EngShman
was a match for three FrenChmen founded
on experience Lord Stair was as firmly con-
vinced of 1t in 1I43 as King Henry in l4lJ.
Yet OutWardly the difference between the rival
armies was not great. The French army until
the Revolution consisted. in General Foy'S
words, of the popUlace differed by the nobility;
the British army up to a much later date was
made up equally Of the populace oficered by the
gentry But in the matter OF the relations be
tween officers and men there was no comparison
between the two. and this was the secret Of the
British strength.
