"I ain't one of your by jingoes, and I won't swear that the
British soldier is braver than any other-or even, as Charley
Gordon said, that he's brave for a little while longer. But I
will swear that there's no soldier on earth who believes so
strongly in the courage of the men along-side him-and that's
worth an extra division any day. Provided you're not standing
alongside me, that is."
-- Sir Henry Flashman, VC, 1846,
(George MacDonald Fraser, /Flashman and the Mountain
of Light/ 1990)
