The three officers in command of the columns, Sir John Campbell, Colonel Shadforth, and Colonel Yea, were all killed.

In vain the officers strove to lead their men to an attack.

There were indeed scarce any to lead, and the Russians, in mockery of the foolishness of such an attack, stood upon their parapets and asked our men why they did not come in.

At last, the remnants of the shattered columns were called off.

Upon the left, the brigade under General Eyre carried the cemetery by a sudden attack.
