Just who is chasing WHO? No sooner had those pesky Pepperpot Aliens disapeared,then a very strange noise was heard, but the Brit`s being rather Wiry Tuff and Stubborn maintained thier positions because the French Cavalry were upon them.To run would mean certain death at the hand and sword thrust`s of those Cuirassiers now employed in the brutal activity of trying to smash every Allied Square to pieces.
...Slowly a rather Deep Blue Box appeared,and at first sight it seemed to the dazzed Officers standing beside it, a Secret Weapon deployed by the French......
...However with more pressing needs ,they turned thier attention to the work in hand. The order was shouted out," Present! FIRE! .".....And......the first volley fire rolled out from the infantry square . Very soon in that action of keeping the French at bay, a certain Corporol was slashed across the left shoulder,and he was dragged to the center of the British Square by his friend`s to be treated and made more safe. The smoke now being rather thick hugged the very ground like some strange frost. Another volley rolled out,and everyones eyes were to thier front to meet another fresh onslaught from more French Cuirassiers.
The sound of musket ball`s hitting metal cuirass sounded like Heavy Hale. It was durring this fresh attack that,the strange noise was heard again,and..........
..the Deep Blue Box slowly became hazzy then disapeared from sight,as if melting into thin air.........and it was noted soon after that the brave and much respected veteran Corporol Alex Beano who had been wounded was missing! It too, seemed he`d disapeared into thin air!
Having no time to be concerned about this,or to be extra scared each man went about his bloody duty upon that rather muddy black day.....Now it was quite suprising to the junior Officers,who upon reporting this matter to Lord Wellington that it raised little emotion other then a broad smile,and all he did was to order them to thier duties of the day.Later,very much later, It appeared in the secret letter,that Lord Wellington had indeed met the fellow`s in that strange Box before,and one had been a nice fellow ,who went by the name of Alex Beano! That had been when he`d served as a very young Officer in India many years before,but.................. that is another Tall Tale Story!..............Perhaps one for another Day,and........................ANOTHER TIME!
