A NONCHALANT SOLDIER
Lord Raglan, who in 1850 commanded the British forces in the Crimea, was also at the battle of Waterloo. While standing by the Duke of Wellington's side, Lord Raglan's arm was shattered by a bullet.
Chloroform was unknown at this time, and the necessary amputation had to be done in the old clumsy way. The patient seemed to have nerves of iron, All through the painful work he never uttered a word. When th e man was taking away the amputated arm he said: "Hallo, dqn't take that arm away until I have taken off that ring.''
