Note 72 — Chapter XX · THE ARMY AS IT IS
Reading edition
An amusing card was anonymously printed after this deprivation, a copy of which appears in the Regimental Chronicle. It runs as follows:—
“In memory of Left-Arm Chevrons, 43rd Light Infantry, last surviving offspring of the late General S. PRIT DE CORPS, of the Light Division, cut off by the hand of envy at Thayetmyo, July 1881.
“Also of BADGES, Relict of the above, destroyed by the Great Flood at Poona, October 1886.
“Cursed is he that removeth his neighbour’s landmark.”
