There was no marker on the grace. No one would ever come here to find his grave, Hugh thought as he watched Chandler Willis and Matt Hastings finish the burial. Hastings looked up at Hugh. “Where’s Greer?” “He was on guard.” “He isn’t there now.” “Sleeping somewhere, then.” Hastings nodded. He took out his little notebook and marked it down. “Roswell, H. L., Corp. — from duty to deceased.” “What’s the ‘L’ stand for?” asked Willis as he wiped the sweat from his lean face. “Lemuel.” “Jesus.” Isaiah Morton clasped his thin hands together and looked down at the unmarked grave. “Gone from this earth to his reward in Heaven,” he said. “Our loss is Heaven’s gain.” “That sonofabitch Stevens is responsible for this,” said Matt Hastings. “You mark Stevens down in your little book, Matt?” asked Hugh. “Yes.” “How did you mark it?” Hastings looked up. “Absent without leave. How else?” “My God,” said Hugh. “Always the first soldier.”
