Extract of a letter from a aerjeant in the 71st Light
Infantry, to f.is parents in Edinburgh s
.6 Camp near the town of Cateati, June IV, III&
" W marched from I. ege on the 15th, and marched, twenty-
sev, kap,. without an hour's. halt at a time, till we arrived
*bow. a mile from the enemy; and, on the morning of the I nth,
which utigt:t to be ever r.anembered at • glorious day, we lay in
close c..lutnit of reglinentv, mid 150 pieces of cannon playilig
its all the unie, so mat we lint a gent ma:.y men with toe round
shot. Howcoer the haply moment arrived that we were toad.
woo:, about three o'clock that day; we Pad not gone many yards
WI tile enemy gave way, and to.'s up a isrw position. We %went
by columos t.t initiate, against cavalry, and Maur 4,utteof 'Hutu '
parts s priacipal casratry came up at the ;al*, to chaise wit

brave brigade; they Moe within twenty yards of no, when we
pee them clove cheers acid then a volley, which tepuised *heat
with great slaughter, leaving behiad them about 900 men and
horses dead. After this first charge, we wee attacked .by five
situolefins of 800-Tarte, hod,/ guards, who also were repulsed,
after charging tbentfour titres sitectioieely by our own itioor be-
. wade. .MI the men had or G&W* of mail, so that it was impossi-
-IWe to shoo• them ahoy': the hatiodies. Our next attai k war it
1 a,ooa infantry, formed on very advantageous pound; we ad-
vanced in line for itiiret half a mile, at ordinary time, exposed
to ail the fire front their cannon, tlil we Came within fifty yards
of them, then pave three•cbsers and cbar,;eJ, which drove them
like chaff its:log.l.6e wind ; and after repelsing them at all points,
we contieredtitt rurtuit till twelve o'clock that night. Orr bri-
g:.e.; took os ',trees of cannon themselves, and had the honour
of the Duke of Wellington's praise when we gave the last charge,
w: ich finished that slur ous day ; and he told the Get.eral cont.
nuoiding our irrigad::, that the day was doubtful till we advanced
on them. lis sorry in say that the most of our nwn that were
I. '.i al washy the cannon before we advanced ; we lost 225 killed
i ::nil wounded of our brigade, hut it Is very little considering the
tremendou , the we were esposed to. Our two Colonels were
)
totio-tonately wounded at the head of our men. 1 am happy to
`say both the Captain aid myself caineof with eying colours. I
I thought once I oas finished; I was Whisked down with the dust
raised by a shell that burst at my feet; I am happy to say it did
• ion hurt one. 'I here are a great many Edinburgh Lids hurt. I
i ;save only bad tight hoots halt at a time .ince we beat tham."
