Note 18 — HISTORICAL RECORD
Reading edition
“The soldiers suffered excessively from the heat of the sun, which was as intense as I ever felt it in India; though our fatigue was extreme, yet, for the momentary halt we made, the grenadier company (SEVENTY-SECOND) requested the pipers might play them their regimental quick step, Capper fiedth, to which they danced a Highland Reel, to the utter astonishment of the fifty-ninth regiment, which was close in our rear.”—Journal of Captain Campbell, Grenadier Company, SEVENTY-SECOND regiment.
