Note 15 — HISTORICAL RECORD (continued 2)

Reading edition

‘All their artillery, stores, and reserve depôts, which had cost them so much labour to get up, with a great quantity of small arms, gilt chattahs, standards, and other trophies fell into our hands. Never was victory more complete or decided, and never was a triumph of discipline and valour, over the disjointed efforts of irregular courage and infinitely superior numbers, more conspicuous. Majors Dennie and Thornhill, of the Thirteenth Light Infantry were distinguished by the steadiness with which they led their men.’—Major-General Sir A. Campbell’s Despatch.
