just at this moment | 9 |
who had been in | 9 |
there is little doubt | 9 |

and many of the | 9 |
a great portion of | 9 |
the rear of our | 9 |

through the open door | 9 |
the upper part of | 9 |
the battle of talavera | 9 |
a body of troops | 9 |
do you think you | 9 |
to the point of | 9 |
a man of the | 9 |
as soon as possible | 9 |
those who had been | 9 |
that he would have | 9 |
the entrance to the | 9 |
the satisfaction of knowing | 9 |
two or three men | 9 |

a short distance of | 9 |
within a short distance | 9 |

as they did so | 9 |
three or four of | 9 |

from the commencement of | 9 |
that he had just | 9 |
you may be sure | 9 |
the north side of | 9 |
and i am sure | 9 |
upper part of the | 9 |
at the time i | 9 |
as fast as they | 9 |
a few words to | 9 |
nothing to do with | 9 |
the strength of the | 9 |
but he had not | 9 |

from the direction of | 9 |

take advantage of the | 9 |
the uniform of a | 8 |

the th and d | 8 |
we ought to be | 8 |
to the place where | 8 |
that they had not | 8 |
was the cause of | 8 |
it will be all | 8 |
and that of the | 8 |
of a few minutes | 8 |
of the enemy had | 8 |
defeat of the enemy | 8 |
early in the day | 8 |
the destruction of the | 8 |

into the midst of | 8 |
in order of battle | 8 |
on arriving at the | 8 |
to take care of | 8 |
the ground they had | 8 |
of one of his | 8 |
it was known that | 8 |
that we had not | 8 |
and as it was | 8 |
of one or two | 8 |
season of the year | 8 |
his way back to | 8 |
be in readiness to | 8 |
for a few hours | 8 |
it was not till | 8 |
and it is not | 8 |

been in the habit | 8 |
from the hands of | 8 |
as well as in | 8 |
to stand to our | 8 |
had the curiosity to | 8 |
the light of the | 8 |
it is certain that | 8 |
there is not a | 8 |
a private of the | 8 |
and i could not | 8 |
be one of the | 8 |
of a couple of | 8 |
who was in command | 8 |
the flank of the | 8 |
consisting of the th | 8 |
and that they were | 8 |
of the french troops | 8 |
that he had left | 8 |
where we remained for | 8 |
battalion of the th | 8 |
through the town of | 8 |
in no small degree | 8 |
as many of the | 8 |
not being able to | 8 |
but they could not | 8 |
was wounded in the | 8 |
some of them were | 8 |
some of the officers | 8 |
to their own country | 8 |
the th of the | 8 |
he must have been | 8 |
we had better get | 8 |
but at the same | 8 |
was not long before | 8 |
of their own accord | 8 |
to be a soldier | 8 |
he ought to have | 8 |
came to the door | 8 |
a few words of | 8 |
within a hundred yards | 8 |
on this side of | 8 |
the french army was | 8 |
that he had not | 8 |
portion of the army | 8 |
fire of the enemy | 8 |
the place where the | 8 |
the end of that | 8 |
of the fifth division | 8 |
as i have said | 8 |
with the loss of | 8 |
and it was the | 8 |
a few of the | 8 |
no doubt that the | 8 |
so that we were | 8 |
had no means of | 8 |
two or three hours | 8 |
there is no saying | 8 |
that had taken place | 8 |
were in the same | 8 |
had been so long | 8 |
i should not be | 8 |
that we have been | 8 |
it was necessary to | 8 |
late in the afternoon | 8 |
he could not have | 8 |
of two or three | 8 |
with the assistance of | 8 |
and i thought that | 8 |
in such a situation | 8 |
of the th rifles | 8 |
was nothing to be | 8 |
the remainder of our | 8 |
a few hundred yards | 8 |
in consequence of which | 8 |
had been made to | 8 |
on his way to | 8 |
the life of a | 8 |
what may be called | 8 |
to the lines of | 8 |
between the two armies | 8 |
as they had been | 8 |
carcass of the horse | 8 |
a great part of | 8 |
the sake of the | 8 |
of which he was | 8 |
in the french army | 8 |
of one of their | 8 |
the word of command | 8 |
with a couple of | 8 |
that i should be | 8 |
as if by magic | 8 |
it seemed to me | 8 |
we had been in | 8 |
that they were to | 8 |
on the left of | 8 |
at the sight of | 8 |
the satisfaction of seeing | 8 |
i am very glad | 8 |
of the forlorn hope | 8 |
we could not have | 8 |
with which it was | 8 |
that i shall be | 8 |
the crew of the | 8 |
so as to reach | 8 |
on the third day | 8 |
it was found that | 8 |
the muzzles of our | 8 |
on their way to | 8 |
the poor fellows who | 8 |
at the thought of | 8 |
it was difficult to | 8 |
that we should be | 8 |
they could not be | 8 |
we shall be able | 8 |
the women and children | 8 |
in killed and wounded | 8 |
a word or two | 8 |
it was in vain | 8 |
the use of the | 8 |
in the hour of | 8 |
i ought to have | 8 |
that you are not | 8 |
he was going to | 8 |
and on the following | 8 |
two or three times | 8 |
the opposite bank of | 8 |
was at this time | 8 |
set to work to | 8 |
to the tune of | 8 |
will be all right | 8 |
the officer commanding the | 8 |
that he had only | 8 |
was a general laugh | 8 |
in which the french | 8 |
the rd and nd | 8 |
to which they had | 8 |
one of them was | 8 |
it would be better | 8 |
to rise no more | 8 |
and those of the | 8 |
if they did not | 8 |
seemed to be a | 8 |
to be on the | 8 |
the carcass of the | 8 |
the battle of waterloo | 8 |
the time that the | 8 |
the wall of the | 8 |
he had picked up | 8 |
we should have been | 8 |
the bodies of the | 8 |
was silent for a | 8 |
of shot and shell | 8 |
of our men to | 8 |
go back to the | 8 |
the excitement of the | 8 |
in the highest degree | 8 |
seemed to be the | 8 |
that he had no | 8 |
the first thing to | 8 |
the assistance of the | 8 |
it is not to | 8 |
being one of the | 8 |
to the other side | 8 |
but i think that | 8 |
companies of the th | 8 |
that they were all | 8 |
not to be wondered | 8 |
we ought to have | 8 |
had no difficulty in | 8 |
and for a while | 8 |
i think that you | 8 |
that he should be | 8 |
a few minutes the | 8 |
that they did not | 8 |
of the men of | 8 |
seems to me that | 8 |
to believe that the | 8 |
the french out of | 8 |
position on the heights | 8 |
of the d battalion | 8 |
a couple of miles | 8 |
it is to be | 8 |
saw no more of | 8 |
with a degree of | 8 |
half an hour before | 8 |
an opportunity of seeing | 8 |
the risk of being | 8 |
more than i can | 8 |
the progress of the | 8 |
as one of the | 8 |
was found to be | 8 |
with the view of | 8 |
and in the morning | 8 |
of which i do | 8 |
through the streets of | 8 |

some distance from the | 8 |

to get back to | 8 |

out of the water | 8 |
came in sight of | 8 |

we were going to | 8 |
without being able to | 8 |
from the number of | 8 |

a few minutes later | 7 |
i will tell you | 7 |
flight of stone steps | 7 |
into a state of | 7 |
said to have been | 7 |
to find that the | 7 |
from which we had | 7 |
the lower part of | 7 |
up with the french | 7 |
hour and a half | 7 |
to which he replied | 7 |
but as it was | 7 |
they fell in with | 7 |
with a part of | 7 |
an equal number of | 7 |
one of them said | 7 |
an hour and a | 7 |
we remained in this | 7 |
that we were in | 7 |
just as they were | 7 |
but he was a | 7 |

about the same time | 7 |

at this time the | 7 |
i could do to | 7 |
from the fire of | 7 |
that it was only | 7 |
to take part in | 7 |
the agonies of death | 7 |

a short time after | 7 |
i was able to | 7 |
for the benefit of | 7 |
that he would not | 7 |

by the fact that | 7 |
at the far end | 7 |

the result was that | 7 |
distance from the town | 7 |
you have got to | 7 |
at a distance of | 7 |
a friend of mine | 7 |
which happened to be | 7 |
in the command of | 7 |
man of the name | 7 |
but such was the | 7 |
you are not to | 7 |
until the th of | 7 |

i am not going | 7 |
be able to see | 7 |
the command of general | 7 |
who had come to | 7 |
they are sure to | 7 |
they are going to | 7 |
to his feet and | 7 |
i think that it | 7 |
as i have already | 7 |
that it could not | 7 |

on the back of | 7 |

so as not to | 7 |
to the fact that | 7 |
from the lips of | 7 |

the state of the | 7 |
a false attack on | 7 |
the prospect of a | 7 |
his hand to his | 7 |
the dead and wounded | 7 |
there was plenty of | 7 |
one of the finest | 7 |
and the next morning | 7 |
to think that we | 7 |
appeared to me that | 7 |
the roar of the | 7 |

the slope of the | 7 |

to see that they | 6 |

not until the th | 6 |
it was determined to | 6 |
that had been made | 6 |
it was a measure | 6 |
for he was a | 6 |
the siege of badajos | 6 |
while in the act | 6 |

one of these days | 6 |
a group of officers | 6 |
valley of the ebro | 6 |
on to the front | 6 |
i remember seeing the | 6 |
of the same month | 6 |
when i found myself | 6 |
by the sight of | 6 |

a few days in | 6 |
i should think we | 6 |
enemy in the rear | 6 |
been one of the | 6 |
and as i was | 6 |
the battles of the | 6 |
be able to find | 6 |
the order was given | 6 |
where we found the | 6 |
was as much as | 6 |
on the rising ground | 6 |
began to fall back | 6 |
as the enemy had | 6 |
of the defeat of | 6 |
in one of these | 6 |
many and many a | 6 |
the battle of toulouse | 6 |
in front of me | 6 |

thing to be done | 6 |
but i tell you | 6 |
under a heavy fire | 6 |
with the enemy in | 6 |
i thought it was | 6 |
who happened to be | 6 |
out into the open | 6 |

out of sight of | 6 |

it is probable that | 6 |
fate of the day | 6 |
there was a shout | 6 |

order that he might | 6 |

this was followed by | 6 |
it was as well | 6 |
down from the mountains | 6 |
fire of artillery and | 6 |
he could not tell | 6 |
as the french were | 6 |
in consequence of this | 6 |
