Adjutant in A Sentence

    1

    A minute later the marshal's adjutant, de Castres, came in and conducted Balashev to the quarters assigned him.

    2

    A moment later, an adjutant arrived with the same order.

    3

    A visit to the Russian capital in November still further established his influence, and in 1862 he was appointed adjutant to the grand-duke Constantine.

    4

    A young officer with a bewildered and pained expression on his face stepped away from the man and looked round inquiringly at the adjutant as he rode by.

    5

    Adjutant General Wolzogen, the man who when riding past Prince Andrew had said, "the war should be extended widely," and whom Bagration so detested, rode up while Kutuzov was at dinner.

    6

    An adjutant accompanied by a Cossack passed by at a sharp trot.

    7

    An adjutant came out and announced that everything was in readiness within.

    8

    And God only knows where your man Peter is, said the other adjutant.

    9

    And the adjutant galloped through the forest after Grekov.

    10

    And the commander, turning to look at the adjutant, directed his jerky steps down the line.

    11

    And turning to his men he directed a party to go on to the halting place arranged near the watchman's hut in the forest, and told the officer on the Kirghiz horse (who performed the duties of an adjutant) to go and find out where Dolokhov was and whether he would come that evening.

    12

    As the mazurka began, Boris saw that Adjutant General Balashev, one of those in closest attendance on the Emperor, went up to him and contrary to court etiquette stood near him while he was talking to a Polish lady.

    13

    At the age of fifteen he proceeded with the 12th Foot (now Suffolk Regiment) to the Rhine Campaign, and at Dettingen he distinguished himself so much as acting adjutant that he was made lieutenant.

    14

    At the end of January 1940, the F¸hrer had sent his chief military adjutant on a flying tour of the western front.

    15

    Bagration replied that he was not authorized either to accept or refuse a truce and sent his adjutant to Kutuzov to report the offer he had received.

    16

    Behind Prince Bagration rode an officer of the suite, the prince's personal adjutant, Zherkov, an orderly officer, the staff officer on duty, riding a fine bobtailed horse, and a civilian--an accountant who had asked permission to be present at the battle out of curiosity.

    17

    Between 1919 and 1929 he served as a company commander, battalion adjutant and instructor at military schools.

    18

    Bonaparte's adjutant had not yet reached Murat's detachment and the battle had not yet begun.

    19

    Bonaparte's adjutant rode full gallop with this menacing letter to Murat.

    20

    Boris lodged with another adjutant, the Polish Count Zhilinski.

    21

    But after it was over, the adjutant he had seen the previous day ceremoniously informed Bolkonski that the Emperor desired to give him an audience.

    22

    But at noon the adjutant of the regiment came into Rostov's and Denisov's dugout with a grave and serious face and regretfully showed them a paper addressed to Major Denisov from the regimental commander in which inquiries were made about yesterday's occurrence.

    23

    But at that moment an adjutant entered and reported something to Davout.

    24

    But he sent an adjutant to take the news round the army.

    25

    But in the yard there was a light from the fire at Little Mytishchi a mile and a half away, and through the night came the noise of people shouting at a tavern Mamonov's Cossacks had set up across the street, and the adjutant's unceasing moans could still be heard.

    26

    But instead of that, at the next village the sentinels of Davout's infantry corps detained him as the pickets of the vanguard had done, and an adjutant of the corps commander, who was fetched, conducted him into the village to Marshal Davout.

    27

    But the adjutant turned his horse about and rode on.

    28

    But, though his duties were primarily financial, the quaestor was after all the chief assistant or adjutant of his superior in command, and as such he was invested with a certain degree of military power; under the republic his military rank was superior to that of the legates, though under the empire this relation was reversed.

    29

    Close to the gates of the city he was met by Count Rostopchin's adjutant.

    30

    Czartoryski was appointed adjutant to Alexander, now Cesarevich, and was permitted to revisit his Polish estates for three months.

    31

    Davout brightened up at the news the adjutant brought, and began buttoning up his uniform.

    32

    During his service, chiefly as an adjutant, Prince Andrew had seen the anterooms of many important men, and the different types of such rooms were well known to him.

    33

    Entering the house, Prince Andrew saw Nesvitski and another adjutant having something to eat.

    34

    For instance, on the twenty-eighth it is suggested to him to cross to the Kaluga road, but just then an adjutant gallops up from Miloradovich asking whether he is to engage the French or retire.

    35

    From April 1904 to April 1907, he was Ordnance Officer and in 1911 was appointed adjutant to the Special Reserve.

    36

    Generalmajor Graf Nugent and his brigade adjutant accompanied this column.

    37

    He is waiting at the porch, said the adjutant.

    38

    He looked straight at his adjutant's face without recognizing him.

    39

    He returned to England towards the end of 1858, and was then selected for the appointment of adjutant and field-works instructor at the Royal Engineers' establishment, /v and took up his new duties at Chatham after promotion to the rank of captain in April 1859.

    40

    He rode off at a walk to the right and sent an adjutant to the dragoons with orders to attack the French.

    41

    He took part in RearAdmiral John Rodgers's expedition to Korea in 1871, and was adjutant of the American land forces in the attack on the Korean forts on Salee river on the 10th and 11th of June.

    42

    He turned his head and saw that the adjutant was putting another question to Davout.

    43

    He was conducted through a glass gallery, an anteroom, and a hall, which were familiar to him, into a long low study at the door of which stood an adjutant.

    44

    He was military agent in New Orleans in 1809-1810, was deputy quartermaster-general in April - July 1812, and was in active service in the War of 1812 as adjutant and inspector-general in the campaign against York (now Toronto), Canada, and in the attack on York on the 27th of April 1813 was in immediate command of the troops in action and was killed by a piece of rock which fell on him when the British garrison in its retreat set fire to the magazine.

    45

    He was now in an adjutant's uniform with one epaulet and a shoulder knot.

    46

    He was present at all the engagements fought during 1792-1794, especially distinguishing himself at the battle of Raclawice, when he was General Rymkiewicz's adjutant.

    47

    His father announced to him that he would now pay half his debts for the last time, but only on condition that he went to Moscow as adjutant to the commander-in-chief--a post his father had procured for him--and would at last try to make a good match there.

    48

    His fertile mind instantly suggested to him a point of view which gave him a right to despise the adjutant and the minister.

    49

    His horse lagged behind the adjutant's and jolted him at every step.

    50

    His naval adjutant had himself seen how mercilessly the Reds fought in the Baltic states in 1919.

    51

    Hitler's army adjutant, Major Gerhard Engel, returned with a vivid description of the mountain terrain.

    52

    I am in command of " D " Coy. again, having been acting adjutant for only a few hours.

    53

    I am in temporary command of the Battalion, and am my own adjutant at the moment.

    54

    I am understudying the adjutant at present with another fellow, in case he gets pipped.

    55

    I called it as (then Acting) Adjutant General of the Unorganized Militia of the United States.

    56

    I have to know a bit about it in case I became an adjutant.

    57

    I only sent you the note yesterday by Bolkonski--an adjutant of Kutuzov's, who's a friend of mine.

    58

    I want nothing, and I won't be anyone's adjutant.

    59

    In 1779 he entered the French military service (Royal-Baviere), accompanied General Rochambeau to America as his adjutant, distinguished himself during the war with England, notably at the siege of Yorktown, 1781, and in 1785 was promoted to be colonel proprietaire of the regiment Royal-Suedois.

    60

    In 1792 he enlisted in the Haut-Rhin volunteers, and was from his military knowledge at once elected adjutant and soon afterwards lieutenant-colonel.

    61

    In 1847, through the influence of Sir Henry Lawrence, he was appointed adjutant of the corps of Guides, and in 1852 was promoted to the command of the Guides with the civil charge of Yusafzai.

    62

    In a neighboring hut lay Raevski's adjutant with a fractured wrist.

    63

    In another moment Davout would have realized that he was doing wrong, but just then the adjutant had come in and interrupted him.

    64

    In November 1549 he was appointed Greek professor at Lausanne, where he acted as Calvin's adjutant in various publications, including his defence of the burning of Servetus, De Haereticis a civili magistrate puniendis (1554).

    65

    In the Mexican War he won two brevets for gallantry - that of captain for Molino del Rey and that of major for Chapultepec. He served at West Point as instructor and adjutant (1849-1855), and he took part in the Utah expedition.

    66

    In the middle of the day Murat sent his adjutant to Napoleon to demand reinforcements.

    67

    In the same year he was appointed a personal adjutant to the Kaiser.

    68

    Kutuzov called to his adjutant.

    69

    Kutuzov's adjutant whispered to Prince Andrew that this was the wife of the priest whose home it was, and that she intended to offer his Serene Highness bread and salt.

    70

    Nearest of all to the commander-in-chief walked a handsome adjutant.

    71

    Nominally he is only an adjutant on Kutuzov's staff, but he does everything alone.

    72

    On receiving the news he immediately dispatched Adjutant General Wintzingerode, who was in attendance on him, to the enemy camp.

    73

    On returning from the review, Kutuzov took the Austrian general into his private room and, calling his adjutant, asked for some papers relating to the condition of the troops on their arrival, and the letters that had come from the Archduke Ferdinand, who was in command of the advanced army.

    74

    On the 29th of March, two days before its arrival, a sepoy named Manghal Pandi, from whom the mutineers afterwards came to be spoken of as "Pandies," drunk with bhang and enthusiasm, attempted to provoke a mutiny in the 34th Bengal infantry, and shot the adjutant, but Hearsey's personal courage suppressed the danger.

    75

    One adjutant, nearest the door, was sitting at the table in a Persian dressing gown, writing.

    76

    Other administrative officers of the state, each elected for two years, are a secretary of state, a comptroller-general, an attorneygeneral, a treasurer, an adjutant and inspector-general, and a superintendent of education.

    77

    Pierre and the adjutant dismounted and walked up the hill on foot.

    78

    Pierre did not find his groom and rode along the hollow with the adjutant to Raevski's Redoubt.

    79

    Pierre was about to ask, but seeing the stern expression of the adjutant who was also looking that way, he checked himself.

    80

    Pierre went to the battery and the adjutant rode on.

    81

    Pierre, feeling out of place there, having nothing to do, and afraid of getting in someone's way again, galloped after the adjutant.

    82

    Prince Andrew for the second time asked the adjutant on duty to take in his name, but received an ironical look and was told that his turn would come in due course.

    83

    Prince Andrew went out of the shed with them, giving final orders to the adjutant.

    84

    Prince Andrew, who was a little behind looking at them, turned to an adjutant to ask him for a field glass.

    85

    Prince Andrew's eyes were still following Pfuel out of the room when Count Bennigsen entered hurriedly, and nodding to Bolkonski, but not pausing, went into the study, giving instructions to his adjutant as he went.

    86

    Prince Kutuzov's adjutant has brought me a letter in which he demands police officers to guide the army to the Ryazan road.

    87

    Recalling his recent impressions, the first thought that came into his mind was that today he had to be presented to the Emperor Francis; he remembered the Minister of War, the polite Austrian adjutant, Bilibin, and last night's conversation.

    88

    Seeing him, Kutuzov's malevolent and caustic expression softened, as if admitting that what was being done was not his adjutant's fault, and still not answering the Austrian adjutant, he addressed Bolkonski.

    89

    She was listening to the ceaseless moaning of the adjutant, three houses off.

    90

    She's very pretty, added the adjutant with a smile.

    91

    Should he go to headquarters next day and challenge that affected adjutant, or really let the matter drop, was the question that worried him all the way.

    92

    So far everything's all right, but I confess I should much like to be an adjutant and not remain at the front.

    93

    Soon after the duke's departure--before he could possibly have reached Semenovsk--his adjutant came back from him and told Kutuzov that the duke asked for more troops.

    94

    Spent 5 years as squadron adjutant, taking over the squadron in Nov 1983, when the CO retired.

    95

    The adjutant asked whether Napoleon wished the troops to cross it?

    96

    The adjutant bent his head affirmatively and began to report, but the Emperor turned from him, took a couple of steps, stopped, came back, and called Berthier.

    97

    The adjutant by his elaborate courtesy appeared to wish to ward off any attempt at familiarity on the part of the Russian messenger.

    98

    The adjutant came out to the porch and asked Prince Andrew to lunch with him.

    99

    The adjutant galloped to Claparede's division and a few minutes later the Young Guards stationed behind the knoll moved forward.

    100

    The adjutant in attendance came into the tent.

    101

    The adjutant looked angrily at him, evidently also intending to shout at him, but on recognizing him he nodded.

    102

    The adjutant looked at Pierre as if puzzled what to do with him now.

    103

    The adjutant on duty, meeting Prince Andrew, asked him to wait, and went in to the Minister of War.

    104

    The adjutant, also, had evidently had no evil intent though he might have refrained from coming in.

    105

    The adjutant, having obeyed this instruction, approached Prince Andrew.

    106

    The day after the review, Boris, in his best uniform and with his comrade Berg's best wishes for success, rode to Olmutz to see Bolkonski, wishing to profit by his friendliness and obtain for himself the best post he could--preferably that of adjutant to some important personage, a position in the army which seemed to him most attractive.

    107

    The French, who had ceased firing at this field strewn with dead and wounded where there was no one left to fire at, on seeing an adjutant riding over it trained a gun on him and fired several shots.

    108

    The handsome boy adjutant with the long hair sighed deeply without removing his hand from his hat and galloped back to where men were being slaughtered.

    109

    The persons on board the fleet included 564 male and 192 female convicts, and a detachment of marines, consisting of Major Ross, commandant, 16 officers, 24 non-commissioned officers, an adjutant and quartermaster, 160 privates and 40 women.

    110

    The red-nosed Captain Timokhin, formerly Dolokhov's squadron commander, but now from lack of officers a battalion commander, shyly entered the shed followed by an adjutant and the regimental paymaster.

    111

    The regimental adjutant came in and confirmed the news brought by Zherkov.

    112

    The shouting in the tavern had died down; only the moaning of the adjutant was heard.

    113

    The superintendent of police, whom the crowd had stopped, went in to see him at the same time as an adjutant who informed the count that the horses were harnessed.

    114

    The two generals and the adjutant took hold of the field glass, trying to snatch it from one another.

    115

    The Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, is governed by a board of visitors consisting of the adjutant general,-the superintendent of public instruction and nine other members appointed by the governor with the concurrence of the Senate.

    116

    The words passed along the lines and an adjutant ran to look for the missing officer.

    117

    Then, evidently remembering what he wanted, he beckoned to Andrew Kaysarov, his adjutant's brother.

    118

    There you will find the adjutant on duty, said the official.

    119

    This adjutant was also there and sat dozing on the rolled-up bedding, evidently exhausted by work or by feasting.

    120

    Through the open window the moans of the adjutant could be heard more distinctly.

    121

    Turning to his adjutant he ordered him to bring down the two battalions of the Sixth Chasseurs whom they had just passed.

    122

    We can get a view from there and in our battery it is still bearable, said the adjutant.

    123

    Well, my dear fellow, so you still want to be an adjutant?

    124

    When the adjutant reminded him of the prisoner, he jerked his head in Pierre's direction with a frown and ordered him to be led away.

    125

    Yesterday's adjutant reproached him for not having stayed at the palace, and offered him his own house.

    126

    You see... but Boris did not finish, for at that moment Kaysarov, Kutuzov's adjutant, came up to Pierre.
