Note 14 — HISTORICAL RECORD (continued 2)

‘I never witnessed a more dashing charge than was made on this occasion by His Majesty’s Thirteenth Light Infantry; while the eighteenth native infantry followed their example with a spirit that did them honour, carrying all opposition before them. They burst through the entrenchments, carrying dismay and terror into the enemy’s ranks, great numbers of whom were slain, and the party returned loaded with arms, standards, and other trophies.’—Major-General Sir A. Campbell’s Despatch.
