WILLIAM HENRY SWEET
American (1853 - 1919)
|
This precious slumbering dust, when animate, leaving the peaceful
pursuits of life, sundering the ties of friendship and love, and
assuming the habiliments of the soldier, incurred exposure,
hardship, fatigue, danger, death, inspired by no such love of
glory, but rather by the consciousness which animated the hero of
Trafalgar, "Our country expects every man to do his duty."
