I am under special obligation to Comrade Pruyn for aiding me while lying
helpless and in danger of bleeding to death on the battlefield at Raymond.
He bandaged my wounded leg with his big red handkerchief, knotted and
drawn very tightly, and with my own suspenders; gave me a good drink out
of his canteen, and then resumed his place in the ranks. Comrade Pruyn was
a good soldier, a conscientious man, a man of many good qualities. My
association with him in the army will continue a pleasant recollection.
