Thank'ee Sir Henry

…plainly Flashy would get no credit either; my work with Lal and Tej would be conveniently forgotten. Well thank’ee Sir Henry, and I hope your rabbit dies and you can’t sell the hutch.

Shirking, running, diving into cover

If you’ve read my earlier memoirs you’ll know all about it — how by shirking, running, diving into cover, and shielding my quaking carcase behind better men, I had emerged after four campaigns with tremendous credit, a tidy sum in loot, and a chestful of tinware.

No thank'ee

As one of the former bright particular stars of the cavalry, who had covered himself with glory from Kabul to the Khyber, and been about the only man to charge in the right direction at Chillianwallah (a mistake, mind you), I wouldn’t be able to say, ‘No, thank’ee, I think I’ll sit out this time.’ Not and keep any credit, anyway. And credit’s the thing, if you’re as big a coward as I am, and want to enjoy life with an easy mind.

Ideal time to be a hero

The ideal time to be a hero is when the battle is over and the other fellows are dead, God rest ’em, and you take the credit.
