The war isn't going to well for either side. Both armies lose lots of men and the Union commander decides to go off and replenish the ranks, leaving behind the wounded which, as expected, means Blutch and Chesterfield get left behind.
The end up taken, with the other men, to a nearly town to rest. Unfortunately for them, though, the town is a strong rebel town that doesn't take too kindly to Union soldiers being there.
This leads to a rather interesting confrontation between the two sides. Both sides have to decide whether its more important to let the town burn to the ground or try to save it.
Although that might not end up exactly as they expected.
As usual, really funny and actually good story telling.

Always great story telling.
Awesome read. The humour is perfect to the reader in the setting of hardship and contention! What times are usually not known for humour!

This is the best album among the ones I have read so far - more than being funny it portrays a weirdly sad image of the war and the sufferings it causes..

Un de mes albums préférés quand j'étais petite. Un excellent Capitaine Stark, et une vision sans concession de la violence de la guerre, avec une histoire entièrement centrée autour des blessés.

Un épisode agréable qui prend pour point de départ une sanglante bataille amenant l'armée du général Alexander, le chef de l'armée de Blutch et Chesterfield, a laisser ses blessés en arrière sous la garde de ce qui reste du 22e de cavalerie, à savoir : Blutch et Chesterfield.
Problème, la bourgade vers laquelle on les a dirigé est farouchement loyale à l'armée sudiste.
Toute l'intrigue se noue autour de l'hostilité de la population envers cet hôpital de campagne, hostilité qui finira par déboucher sur le pire.

Rumberley is for me one in middle of some many Master-pieces of this unique series.
From the drawing to the action, from the comdedy and to the topic covered by this BD.
One of them is the cynism from the heirachic superior and how they can manipulate the soldiers.
Here, there is no manicheism.

Een album met een opvallend lekker ritme. Het heeft dan ook alles: Spanning, humor en leuke personages. Het verhaal is niet opzienbarend, maar het wordt prettig verteld. Het einde is alleen helaas wat rommelig.

Zoals steeds een vermakelijk verhaaltje. Niet hoogstaand, maar als je de formule van de reeks kent beantwoordt het zeker aan de verwachtingen.
