ABSTRACT
There is nothing in warfare more humiliating than to fall into the hands of the enemy. There is no possibility of glory arising from it; no one sympathises with you, To take part in a defeat; to be handsomely beaten in fair fight and forced to retreat, is bad enough. But it is nothing at all compared to the feeling of desolation that comes over a man when he finds himself being hauled away to the enemy’s lines.
