The veteran Colonel Duhay, who was in command of the citadel during the greater part of the year-long battle a splendid, square-built tower of a man I saw later in Paris. It was ill-luck not to have been able to walk with him over the tragic battle-field itself, for few men can have memories of it at once so comprehensive and so close.

I, myself. We had seen the fall of Duhesme, of Pelet-de-Morvan, of Michel generals who had found a glorious death. My General, Foy, had his shoulder pierced through by a musket-ball: and out of his whole staff two officers only were left to him, Cahour Duhay and I. Fate had spared me in the midst of so many dangers, though the first charger I rode had been shot and had fallen on me.
