BLOODY SHILOH
The rear lines were still being ordered on by officers who could see nothing of what was taking place further forward. Those who had gone in first and still survived were turning and trying to push their way back away from the steady Confederate fire that seemed to come from behind every tree and bush.
Cursing and swearing, a young Lieutenant drew his sword and charged into the thick of things, knocking men about body and head and ordering them back into line.
'Cowards! Cowardly bastards! Fight, damn you!'
He slashed down at a private who was crawling on all fours, a wound deep in his shoulder. The blade of the officer's sword sliced through the back of one hand and the man scrambled on, leaving three fingers behind on the earth...
