     summary: When nearing Soissons in the course of the retreat, the Black Watch were the object of an encircling movement by the enemy, and while the regiment was cutting its way through to rejoin the rest of the brigade, Colonel Grant Duff gave his orders with bullets humming round him, and went up and down the line of his battalion looking after wounded men. It is curious, too, but this is the only account that has come to hand--the only personal account of a participator--with regard to that charge of the Greys with Black Watch men hanging on to their stirrup-leathers.

     summary: So far, good; but the _arme blanche_, as we might expect, is not going to be suppressed in this summary fashion, and when we pass from pious generalization to the actual crisis, which offers the greatest opportunities for Cavalry action, we breathe once more the intoxicating atmosphere of the great shock-charge, not against Cavalry now (for they are _ex hypothesi_ extinct), but against Infantry and Artillery. And a pretty paradox it is, a bewildering, incomprehensible paradox; not so much, indeed, that a German author, born and bred in a German atmosphere, should be so saturated with obsolete German traditions that even in the act of denouncing them he can subscribe to them, but that British Cavalrymen, headed by Sir John French, our foremost Cavalry authority, men who have had three years' experience of war with the modern magazine rifle, who have _seen_ the _arme blanche_ fail and the rifle dominate tactics, and who, eight years before the German Cavalry even stirred in its sleep, acquiesced in changes in Cavalry armament and training directly based on that experience--that these men should acclaim the works of the aforesaid German author as the last word of wisdom on the tactics and training of modern Cavalry, and represent them as such to young British Cavalrymen, is a circumstance which almost passes belief.

     summary: The Rifles fought well this day, and we lost many men. There were certainly not many men, even in Craufurd's rearguard, stronger in body or hardier in temper than Harris, yet at last even his iron strength and dauntless energy failed him.
