The battle had raged for hours, and the British were well-nigh overwhelmed; the Colonel, twenty officers, and over four hundred men out of five hundred and seventy had fallen in the 57th alone; not a third were left standing in the other regiments that had been closely engaged throughout the day.
It was commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Leggatt, and formed part of Brigadier-General Paynter's 172nd Infantry Brigade of the 57th Division, which was a Division composed entirely of Lancashire troops, and a sister Division to the 55th. After being delayed for three days at Folkestone, it crossed to Boulogne on the 20th.
If you wish to pass as genteel, always go with well-bred people; if you cannot get the chance, from not knowing any, or any other reason, it is always better to go alone than in bad company. 57th.
John Taylor, captain of the forecastle, and Henry Curtis, boatswain's mate, were in the advance sap opposite the Redan on 18th June 1855, immediately after the assault on Sebastopol, when they observed a soldier of the 57th Regiment, who had been shot through both legs, sitting up, and calling for help.

For several days the pilot's reckoning differed 1 degree 12 minutes in longitude from that of my time.

He did not of course know the source of the telephone message, and could only surmise that Grace had in some way been able to pick up the woman's trail. Leaving Mrs. Morton with a few words of encouragement, he made his way to his hotel.

A collegian suddenly had a bloody face and a flying wedge of Maharajas scornfully cut through the formerly singing group, wielding belts and bludgeons for the honor of having started a riot on 57th Street.
