foot soldier

Behold the Democratic foot-soldier giving voice, before a national audience, to her battle fatigue.

Petilius fled with his broken cohorts—for, it is said, not even one foot-soldier escaped the carnage—to his entrenched camp.

The foot-soldier in garrison bears no resemblance whatever to the hero of the battle-field.

But the foot-soldier would be a body without a soul, if he had no countrywoman.
