bamboo hedges, which were mown by
shells from the American guns.
The few soldiers who could be spared
from the trenches came to Battery
knoll, dusty and bronzed, bearing flow
ers with which to strew their com
rades' graves. A silk flag was placed
above each mound. The day was as
mild as a New England spring, when
just before sunset a few hundred Am
orleans gathered in a circle around Bat
terry knoll, in blue and brown uniforms.
Interspersed among the soldiers were
groups of American ladies, brown
faced natives peering curiously at the
unwonted spectacle from points near
by.
