Albrecht, Duke of Württemberg

My section had lost sixty-five men, dead and wounded, though it had not taken part in the pursuit of the enemy.

We had been attached to the newly formed Eighteenth Reserve Army Corps, Hessians, and belonged to the Fourth Army which was under the command of Duke Albrecht of Wurttemberg.

Where that army, which had not yet been formed, was to operate was quite unknown to us private soldiers.

We had but to follow to the place where the herd was to be slaughtered.

We gazed in astonishment at the strong, elegant vehicles.

Ah, my neighbors exclaimed, the general staff.

Duke Albrecht of Wurttemberg and his faithful retainers.

We were getting rebellious again.
