These did good service.
Jack Archer saw but little of this battle.

It commenced at daybreak and lasted little over an hour, and when Jack, with hundreds of other officers and soldiers, reached points from which a view of the plain could be commanded, a thick cloud of smoke was drifting across it, through which nothing could be seen until the heavy masses of Russians were observed making their way back covered by their cavalry, and the dying away of the cannonade told that the battle was over.
Life in camp was very cheery now.

The troops were in splendid health and high spirits.

Races were got up in each division, for almost all officers possessed ponies of some kind or other, and great amusement was caused by these events.

Some of the lately-arrived regiments had brought their regimental bands with them, and these added to the liveliness of the camps.
