Note 581 — SECTION XXXVI: CHAPTER VIII

Reading edition

Captured by skirmishers of the 1/95th, as it was retreating up the high road and was nearing Ariñez. The French infantry recovered it for a moment by a counter-stroke, but as the Riflemen had cut the traces and shot or removed the horses, they could not get the gun away. Tirlet says the battery lost only one gun, which is corroborated by Costello of the 95th, present on the spot. Kincaid and other Riflemen say three.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
