With British Guns in Italy
Anglo-Italian friendship has been one of the few unchanging facts inmodern international relations. Since the French Revolution, in thebellicose whirligig of history and of the old diplomacy's reckless dancewith death, British troops have fought in turn against Frenchmen andGermans, against Russians and Austrians, against Bulgarians, Turks andChinamen, against Boers, and even against Americans, but never, exceptfor a handful of Napoleonic conscripts, against Italians. British andItalian troops, on the other hand, fought side by side in the Crimea,and, in the war which has just ended, have renewed and extended theircomradeship in arms in Austria and Italy, in France and in the Balkans.
