The Life and Correspondence of Sir Isaac Brock

CHAPTER I
16/29

Nothing could exceed the gallantry of the 25th, 49th, 79th, and 92d.

For my own part, I had every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of both officers and men, and no commanding officer could be more handsomely supported than I was on that day, ever glorious to the 49th.

Poor Archer brought his company to the attack in a most soldierlike manner; and even after he had received his mortal wound, he animated his men, calling on them to go on to victory, to glory; and no order could be more effectually obeyed: he is an irreparable loss to the service.

I got knocked down soon after the enemy began to retreat, but never quitted the field, and returned to my duty in less than half an hour.

Savery acted during the whole day as aide-de-camp either to Sir Ralph or Moore, and nothing could surpass his activity and gallantry.
