Excerpt from Axel and Valborg: A Tragedy in Five Acts, And Other PoemsPierce Butler then determined to go out to Turkey, for the special purpose of volunteering his ministra tions to the sick and wounded soldiers of our army. Such Christian service seemed the most fitting tribute he could pay to the memory of his lamented brothers. He accordingly proceeded to Constantinople in December 1854, and shortly afterwards accepted the offer of an appointment as one of the chaplains to our army in the Crimea. In discharging this duty, his gentle, genial manners and amiable disposition won the hearts of officers and men, and those now living who were with the Second Division in the camp before Sevastopol will ever retain a grateful recollection of his ministrations.In 1861 he married, and settled at the family living of Ulcombe in Kent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
