To Our Fallen Comrades
"In truth they were young Gentlemen, Yeomen and Yeomen's Sons, and Artificers of the most brave sort, such as went voluntarily to serve of a gaiety and joyalty of mind: all which kind of people are the Flower and Force of a Kingdom."
Sir John Smyth to Lord Burleigh on our Men in Flanders in 1589-90.
