that no engagement had taken
place. An English General with
his Cavalry Corps has taken up
a position a mile to the rear of
us. This General was to have

Colonels came in without him.

was sore after his long ride
so he stayed with his cavalary.
Towards evening important
news ame to hand. All guards
& sentries were doubled and
sent out earlier than usual.
Strict instructions were given

sentries had manned the trenches
at spaces of about 7 or 8 ft. betueen
men, I heard an order ring out.
"No. 3 Face outwards & load your
rifles". Shortly after going to bed
we heard a few sharp shouts
"Halt" delivered by the Indians.
