tie statements made by those who were
present, there were not more than six or
seven ladders at the salient. The met,

ard lried u stimdlate their soldiers by
their example. The small party Of the

towards,th the breastwork. but they were too
weak 10 force it, and they had to retire be-

head Of the storming party of the Light
Division. Col Windham had get inside the
Redan on their right, below the salient Of
proper left face OF the Redan; but in spite
Eof all his exerlions, could do little more
than the gallant officers Of the Goth and
9th, and Of the supporting regiments.
| As the light division, rushed out in the
front, they were swept BY the guns OF tho
Barrack Battery and by several pieces on
the proper right of the Redan, loaded hea-
yily with grape, which caused them con;
siderable loss ere they reached the salieht
OF apex Of the work at whiJh they were
to. assault. The stsrming columns Of the
second division issuing out Of The fifth paf::
allel. rushed up immediately after the light
div ision, but when they came up close to
the apex, Brigadier Windham very judi
ciously brought them by. a slight detort
on the right flank of the light division, so
as 10 come little down on the slope of the
proper left face of The Redan. The first
embrasure to which they came was in

aid of ladders and esch others hands,

Windham was the frst or Uhe 81 the first

Col Herbert to the first man of his divis-

as I have described, an inner peffhpet IA
tended to shield the gunners at the em-
brasures from the effects of any shell that
: might fall into the body of the work, and
, strike them down if this high bapk were
not there to protect them from the splin-

brasures permitted the man to retire In
] case Of need inside, very strong and high
I traverses ran along the sides Of the work
itself, to afford them additional shelter.
