Rescued by a corporal of the 200th Fusiliers, he soon becomes affectionately known as "Dick," believing the corporal and his wife to be his true parents. Over time, he integrates into the regiment, showcasing courage during battles and ultimately saving the Colonel's life. As the story progresses, the true identities of his biological parents surface, leading to an emotional reunion. Through its vivid portrayal of war's aftermath, the novel highlights the resilience of the human spirit and the bonds formed in the face of adversity.
