The concept of military honor is strong in Tales of Ensign Ståhl, but it is often found in surprising persons like orphan "Boy Soldier" states that his father's road "always led to honor", and that he "gladly suffered cold, hunger and his wounds", the epitome of military resilience. It gives us a flashback to the way of thinking of the past military ideals. Whether any soldier gladly suffers cold, hunger and wounds is another matter: this is what was expected of them. That even a young boy unquestioningly chooses that road tells us perhaps the lack of avenues available in that society, the shame of "eating stranger's bread" i.e. being subject to charity, can only be wiped out by following in his father's footsteps and dying, at least fighting, for his country. The boy says:"I'm a hero's son, I shall not go to waste". The illustration by C.T.Staaff and the text, The Tales of Ensign Stål by J.L. Runeberg. This book was published in 1884. Helsinki, Finland, Europe. A private collection.
