My friend isnt back from the battlefield,Sir.Request permission to go out and get him."
"Permission refused," said the officer."I dont want you to risk your life for a man who is probably
dead."
The soldier went all the same,and,finally was granted permission.An hour later,came back mortally wounded,carrying the corpse of his friend.
The officer was furious."I told you he was dead.Now i've lost both of you.Tell me,was it worth going out there to bring in a corpse?"
The dying man replied,"Oh! it was,Sir.When i got to him he was still alive."
And he said to me,'JACK,I WAS SURE YOU'D COME FOR ME."
