Excerpt from Following the Sun-Flag: A Vain Pursuit Through Manchuria After a long still-hunt in Tokio, and a long pursuit through Manchuria, following that Sun-Flag of Japan, I gave up the chase at Liaoyang. Not being a military expert, my purpose was simply to see under that flag the brown little "gun-man" - as he calls himself in his own tongue - in camp and on the march, in trench and in open field, in assault and in retreat; to tell tales of his heroism, chivalry, devotion, sacrifice, incomparable patriotism; to see him fighting, wounded - and, since such things in war must be - dying, dead. After seven months my spoils of war were post-mortem battle-fields, wounded convalescents in hospitals, deserted trenches, a few graves, and one Russian prisoner in a red shirt.
