Fighting Troops

Famous quotes containing the words fighting and/or troops:

““Oh, the fighting races don’t die out,
If they seldom die in bed,
For love is first in their hearts, no doubt,””
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
