Note 13 — HISTORICAL RECORD (continued 2)

While the attack was being carried on in the redoubt on the 6th of February, one of the enemy’s corps advanced with drums beating and colours flying, the commanding officer of which supposed the British to be their own Europeans, whose uniform was also red; upon discovering his mistake, he soon made off, and Lieutenant John Campbell, of the Thirty-sixth grenadiers, who had come out of the redoubt wounded, on seeing the corps break, rushed forward and seized the standards.—Major Dirom’s Narrative of the Campaign.
