E-text prepared by Lionel G. Sear of Truro, Cornwall, England; HTML file produced by David Widger "The Green Flag, and Other Stories of War and Sport" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a collection of short stories written during the late 19th century. The stories delve into themes of conflict, particularly focusing on the interplay between war and personal honor, often highlighting the experiences of soldiers in various historical contexts. The first story introduces readers to Dennis Conolly, a recruit in the British Army grappling with complex loyalties as he navigates the brutality of war and his own Irish heritage. The opening of the book presents a vivid backdrop of the troubled political and social climate in Ireland, setting the stage for the character of Dennis Conolly, who joins the British Army after his brother is killed in a skirmish. This narrative is interwoven with intense descriptions of a military campaign in the Sudan against Arab forces. As the British troops prepare for battle, the tension within Conolly’s company—C Company of the Royal Mallows—is palpable, characterized by a simmering resentment towards an empire they feel they do not serve. The story captures the despair, camaraderie, and the underlying tensions that explode during the chaos of battle, as Conolly's allegiance is torn between his Irish heritage and the duty imposed upon him by the British forces he is part of.
