[Co. Aytch by Sam R. Watkins]@TWC D-Link bookCo. Aytch CHAPTER VIII 6/48
As soon as they get out of sight, they break in a run and go back to camp, and go to sleep, leaving the poor fellow all the time holding the bag. Well, Walter was as good and as clever a fellow as you ever saw, was popular with everybody, and as brave and noble a fellow as ever tore a cartridge, or drew a ramrod, or pulled a trigger, but was the kind of a boy that was easily "roped in" to fun or fight or anything that would come up.
We all loved him.
Poor fellow, he is up yonder--died on the field of glory and honor.
He gave his life, 'twas all he had, for his country.
Peace to his memory.
