Uhlan Regiment Charged

Famous quotes containing the words regiment and/or charged:

    “We had an inspection today of the brigade. The Twenty-third was pronounced the crack regiment in appearance, ... [but] I could see only six to ten in a company of the old men. They all smiled as I rode by. But as I passed away I couldn’t help dropping a few natural tears. I felt as I did when I saw them mustered in at Camp Chase.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Luna presence,
    foredoomed, already dying,
    it charged the room
    with plangency

    older than human
    cries,”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
