Description

Excerpt: "A farmer stood watching a battalion of infantry filing into his pasture.

A queerer mixture of humanity could not have been imagined.

The farmer wore a Dutch cap, spoke Flemish by preference, but could only write French.

His farm was called Ferme l'Espagnole-The Spanish Farm-and stood on French soil.

The soldiers were the usual English mixture-semi-skilled townsmen, a number of agricultural and other laborers, fewer still of seafaring and waterside folk, and a sprinkling of miners and shepherds, with one or two regulars."
