The first night of your first campaign… is a glorious time in your life. It is so sweet to find oneself free from the stale civilization of Europe! …Think for a moment of your fellow creatures…, of those that are pinioned at dinner tables, or stuck up in ball-rooms, or cruelly planted in pews – ay, think of these and so remembering how many poor devils are living in a state of utter respectability, you will glory the more in your own delightful escape.
