The scene at Gandamack


There is a painting of the scene at Gandamack, which I saw a few years ago, and it was like enough the real thing as I remember it. No doubt it is very fine and stirs martial thoughts in the glory-blown asses who look at it; my only thought when I saw it was, ‘You poor bloody fools!’ and I said so , to the disgust of other viewers.
