Red Troops

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or troops:

    And out of her bosom there grew a red rose
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar, briar, briar,
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar.
    Unknown. Lord Lovel (l. 38–40)

    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)
