With Frederick the Great

CHAPTER 13: Hochkirch
30/36

Twelve cannon three times pealed out a parting salute.

Three times the muskets of the regiment of Colleredo fired their volleys.
Four months later, by the king's orders, the body was conveyed to Berlin, and buried in the garrison church with full military pomp and honour.

Twenty years afterwards, when Frederick erected four statues to the most deserving of his generals, Keith had his place with Schwerin, Winterfeld, and Seidlitz.
"And now," Lacy said, when they returned from the funeral to his quarters, "I must send you on after the others.

I am sorry to do so, but I have no choice.

Still, I will write to friends at Vienna, and get them to have you included in the first batch of exchanges." An officer was told off to accompany Fergus, and a horse was found for him.
