In their fight against the Confederates, the soldiers of the Union fell on a bone. On the hillside, Commander William N. Pendleton, a former pastor, directed four cannons, named according to the Gospels and which left no chance for the opposing regiment. Captain Stark had to go to the obvious: if he did not want to lose all his men, he would have to opt for a less classic solution. Corporal Chesterfield and Lieutenant Blutch were then designated for a mission of the most perilous: transformed into a religious and idiot of the village, they would have to join the Pendleton team and sabotage his artillery. For this 59th adventure of the Blue Tunics, Raoul Cauvin and Willy Lambil chose to illustrate once again a real episode of the Civil War, the theatre of the adventures of their heroes since 1968. A clever way of denouncing, behind the rebounds of a funny and light frame, the drifts of war and forceful militarism.
