Highlanders Called to Colors by Fuzzy-Wuzzy Poem Hero

He describes the Campaign in the Sudan and the 1900s, noting famed regiments and the peril in a square at Sin Kat. Recruitment aims to draft British subjects in the United States into Allied forces, with a drive to enlist 20,000 men in two months.
