The brave men drew up in an excellent line, and cheered Gough and myself as we rode up the line, the regimental colours lowering to me as on parade. The mournful part is the heavy loss I have sustained...
81. oldal - The night of the 21st was the most extraordinary in my life. I bivouacked with the men, without food or covering, and our nights are bitter cold.

In the middle of the night the camp took fire, and further conflict was for a time suspended in consequence ; but as soon as it had ceased the army of Lahore brought forward their heavy artillery, and poured a most destructive fire upon our troops.
