I went for maternal legacy. It had excellent details, an interesting battle, and an actual ending point. (Some of the stories had some of these elements but not all. Life on the line is a good example. It had the first two parts, but no ending.)
"Clay lies still, but blood's a rover; / Breath's a ware that will not keep.
Up, lad: when the journey's over / There'll be time enough to sleep!"
~"Reveille", A.E. Housman
