E-text prepared by Lionel Sear "Corporal Sam and Other Stories" by Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The tales weave together themes of duty, sacrifice, and human emotion against the backdrop of historical military settings. At the heart of the first story, "Corporal Sam," we meet Corporal Sam Vicary, a young soldier grappling with the harsh realities of war during the siege of San Sebastian. The opening of the first story introduces us to Sergeant David Wilkes and Corporal Sam Vicary as they descend from the battleground of Mount Olia, reflecting on their experiences and the impending assault on the fortress. As they approach the heart of battle, the narrative brings to light the camaraderie among the soldiers, characterized by their banter and shared concerns for those outside the battlefield. The young corporal, curious and introspective, expresses his empathy for the women and children caught in the war's chaos, setting the stage for deeper reflections on purpose and morality in the face of conflict. This blend of character introspection, dynamic dialogue, and vivid historical detail draws readers into a poignant exploration of soldierhood and the cost of war.
