Joining the ranks

With the regiment completed, I can well imagine their march over the Alps, coats unfastened singing a merry operatic piece and speculating about the young maidens of Moravia. Reaching the staging, the officers discover all the heart shaped fasteners were offered as keep sakes on their journey from Milan to Brünn their first battle will have them appear as vagabonds and ruffians.

Cheers,
