Excerpt from Sketch of the Life of the Late Lieut.-Colonel Champion, of the 95th Regiment: With Extracts From His Corrsepondence
It has been remarked upon several occasions during the present war, that the British private soldier, although in no degree less courageous in action, less patient under suffering, or resolute in endurance, than he formerly was, has evinced, in addition to these great qualities, an amount of religious feeling wholly unexpected. We are assured by those who have watched by the sick beds of our gallant troops, that nothing could be more touching than the gentle resignation of those who had been fiercest in the strife; and that their duty to their country having been nobly performed, their next anxiety was to meet their fate as became Christian soldiers.
