"Nothing," the officer answered; "there is nothing to do; every unbounded man is under arms in case the French attack us in the night. I expect, however, they will wait till morning, and if they come on then, I fear our chance is a slight one indeed. We have only 1,800 of our infantry; the German regiments and the Portuguese will do their best; but the Spanish are utterly useless. Soult has lost more men than we have, but we are like a body which has lost its back-bone; and if the French, who are all good soldiers, renew the battle, I fear it is all up with us." "Have you got all our wounded in?" Tom asked. "No," the officer said bitterly. "Our unwounded men must stand to arms, and Lord Beresford sent over to Blake just now to ask for the assistance of a battalion of Spaniards to collect our wounded, and the brute sent back to say that it was the custom in allied armies for each army to attend to its own wounded." "The brute!" Tom repeated with disgust. "How the poor fellows must be suffering!" "The men who are but slightly wounded have been taking water to all they can find, and the doctors are at work now, and will be all night going about dressing wounds. The worst of it is, if the fight begins again to-morrow, all the wounded who cannot crawl away must remain under fire. However, the French wounded are all over the hill too, and perhaps the French will avoid a cannonade as much as possible, for their sake. It is a bad look-out altogether; and between ourselves, Beresford has written to Lord Wellington to say that he anticipates a crushing defeat."

The Young Buglers G a Henty 9781491027653 Books Reviews
A story of 2 adventurous brothers facing harrowing battles in Spain and Portugal in 1806-1808. There is astonishing detail and the reader gets transported to the center of action. The only awkward parts are the scenes with the African servant. I imagine the volunteers converting this text cringed quite a few times at the political incorrectness of poor Sam. Otherwise, this novel inspired me to continue experiencing Mr.Henty and his other works.
Somewhat dated and very racist. Also very british centric. Old public school boy from Eton huzzah and chin chin and all that. Good to read to see why the british class system is so atrocious. Thank god for WW1 that blew them up. Biggles lives on and is not missed.
For any G. A. Henty fan. My boys loves reading his books! And you can't beat the fact that it is free, too!
this is a great book, esp. for young male teens; lots of character demonstrated by young men; great examples to learn from.
intresting but not a grabber. slow moving and lackluster story line. Spent several days coming back before book was finished.
