The First Endorsement

Overview

An adjutant comes in and lays before Colonel Allen, the charges against John Wild, a young soldier accused of theft. When the adjutant goes out, the Colonel remembers about his own wayward son, how he had left his home one evening, after a quarrel, never to return, shipping as a stoker on a big liner, and how, later, he had received word of his death in a shipwreck.
