The Best of James Brook's Bravery

In January of 1825, James saw his first close combat against the Burmese in roomapour Assam. After shouting out what he described as a few inspiring words to his comrades, he charged headlong into a well defended elevated position. The Burmese were so shocked to see a single man charging them down, raving a saber and shrieking like a Helian that they broke and ran. He earned a commendation for bravery and was written up repeatedly for his raw physical courage. But this kind of bravery tends to bite people in the ass from the book White Raja quote.
