THE 'SCOTS BRIGADE'
Reading edition
AND OTHER TALES
BY
JAMES GRANT
AUTHOR OF 'THE ROMANCE OF WAR'
'The dying and dead strewed the breach at Meenen, Where our brave Scottish blades met the troops of Turenne; When cannon and firelock and musketoon played, As often, elsewhere, on the old Scots Brigade! Holland's Bulwark—in many a battle of yore— From the woods of Brabant to the far Frisian shore; Never Frenchman, nor Spaniard, nor German essayed To withstand the hot charge of the old Scots Brigade!' Camp Song.
