Excerpt from Killed at Saarbruck: An Englishman's Adventures During the War Found Cologne station thronged with soldiers, and. The good townsfolk suffering from a sharp attack of war fever. They apprehended an onslaught upon their city. The French were at Forbach, and there was a rumour that they in tended to march to Cologne, or sail down the Rhine in their gun-boats Preparations were at once made to defend the town. The fortifications were inspected and ordered to be increased; the lumbering old cannon were cleaned and generally furbished up the trees around the city walls were all cut down, so that they might not interfere with the cannon fire when the enemy should arrive; and it was even feared that the beautiful public gardens would have to be despoiled, and the charming country houses in the suburbs destroyed, on account of the hindrance which they would offer to the'cannonade from inside the walls. Nothing but war was talked about. In a very practical way the inhabitants set about their Mimposed task of assisting the soldatm, and Providing them with provisions and aim.helmeted, blue-tuniced men, all a-hungered and athirst after their long journey. Ladies and gentlemen - professional men and shep-keepers all who had a few thalers to bestow upon the defenders of the Fatherland - waited the arrival of the soldier-trains waited with baskets choking with butter-bred, kase, schinken, red wine, and cigars; and when the trains came in it was marvellous how quickly all these good things were disposed of. They have tremendous appetites, the German soldaten, and their capacity for drink ing is illimitable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
