		Well-fed troops have often done much, but when Englishmen, Scotsmen and Irishmen are fighting, not only for their King, but for their dinner, they have, in the words of Carlyle, "the depths of potential rage almost unquenchable".

		The British, too, continued their forward movement, and presently there was the shock of battle.
