Note 215 — THE EGYPTIAN WAR. BOMBARDMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.
Reading edition
The Naval Brigade held Alexandria till the end of July, by which time so many troops had arrived, that the services of the seamen on shore were no longer required, with the exception of those serving in Captain Fisher’s moveable armoured battery. The marines remained on shore, and took the chief part in a smart engagement near Ramleh, on August 5th.
