Snake and Sword
by P. C. Wren
The story of Ren tells the story of Damocles de Warrenn and his life before, during and after his service in the Second Heavy Kalalya Regiment known as the Grey Queens. "It was not herself that Colonel Matthew Devon de Warrenn, V.C., D.S.O., of the Queen's own Bombay spear, admitted that the Twains were braver when he wore the Victoria Cross to the chest of his dying wife's evening robes."
