Book excerpt: Excerpt from The 48th Highlanders of Toronto: Canadian Militia, the Origin and History of This Regiment, and a Short Account of the Highland Regiments, From Time to Time Stationed in Canada The German soldier considers himself as a part of the military machine and duty marked out in the orders of the day. He moves onward to. His destination with a well-trained pace, and with as phlegmatic indifference to the result as a labourer who works for his daily hire. The courage of the French soldier is supported in the hour of trial by his high notions of the point of honour, but this display of spirit is not always steady; neither French nor German is confident in himself, if an enemy gain his flank or rear. A Highland soldier faces his enemy, whether in front, rear or Hank, and if he has confidence in his commander, it may be predicted with certainty that he will be victorious or die on the ground which he maintains.
