I think he just doesn’t let cowardice get in the way of self preservation.

In case anyone was wondering about The Thin Red Line, I saw this photo that alleges to be some 72nd Highlanders who would have served in Crimea. Note that those coats are fire-engine red. https://imgur.com/gallery/oWFlauR Not to be hosed with IMO.

Pretty sure the footnotes are supposed to be Fraser's. He does mention that he thinks that the some of the manuscripts were edited by an unknown descendant to censor swear words or to try to make Flashman not look as bad.

Genghis Cohen posted:I thought that bit was fairly simple - Maturin, sent in to bat for his ship's side, has completely misunderstood Aubrey's explanation of the rules. He runs out to catch the ball with his hurling bat, dribbles forward and knocks down the other batsman's wicket. It's as if (in football, aka soccer) a midfielder had got possession of the ball, sprinted toward his own team's goal and scored an own goal. Just picture Maturin joining a pickup basketball game then immediately drop-kicking the ball over the backboard and declaring victory.

I am always sad that we will never get to read about what Flashman got up to during the Civil War. I think all we know is that he fought for both sides, and was liked by both Lee and Grant.
