Character of Corp. Gregory
The one-act play Waterloo was written
by Author Canon Doyle. He is a detective novelist the main characters are
Corporal Gregory Brewster and his niece Norah Brewster. Nora Brewster is a
country girl; she has come to help who is 96 years old. As she entered the
house she found a medal and a paper cutting just then Sergeant Archie Mc Donald
came to meet Corporal. Norah told him that the old man had got up. As they both
where talking to each other, Norah pointed out the medal to the Sergeant. The
Sergeant read the piece of print near the medal. It told about the heroic deed
of the corporal.
On 18th June 1815 a great
battle took place between the French and the British army. At critical point
the troops found themselves short of powder. Corporal Brewster was dispatched
to the back to hasten up the reserve ammunition by then the French army had
ignited the hedge around the form. The first tumbril carrying the powder
exploded the driver to pieces. Corporal Brewster bravely drove the cart through
the flames and succeedingly joints his comrades. Corporal Brewster was always
proud of the moment when prince Regent handed him the medal.
He usually uses to say to everyone
what the prince said to him “the Ridgment is proud of him”. At present due to
the old age he finds himself very week at present there is no one to or look
after him. He finds himself a straggler. “I have never had my call, and I can’t
leave my post without it”. Corporal Gregory shows more interest in battles and
wars. We find corporal telling to Norah “Israelites was good soldiers”. He also
loves to read Old Testament.
In the end of the story we come
across the death of corporal leaving the earth and joining huge army in heaven.
