Doubledick.
Rejected by his sweetheart, In trouble with his regiment, Private Richard Doubledick was going to the dogs with a vengeance. He had been con fined to cells many a time, and it was quite clear that unless he amended his ways Doubledick would very soon be called upon to endure the dis- grace of a regimental flogging. He was saved from his dis- reputable life by the strange spiritual beauty which shone in his young captain's eyes. The two went off to the French War together, performing many feats of valour, and it was a grand tradition of the Army that wherever: Captain Taur bor was to be found, there by his side would be Sergeant Richard Doubledick. There' were further battles, and then.. the Army became aware that Ensign Richard Doubledick had risen from the ranks.
