The words were worth a fresh brigade.
In the morning a consultation was held on the condition of the cavalry horses.

At first it was determined to kill three hundred, so as to save food for the rest, but afterwards the orders were to turn them out on the flat beyond the racecourse, and let them survive if they could.

The artillery horses must be fed as long as possible.

The unfortunate walers of the 19th Hussars will probably be among the first to go.

Coming straight from India, they were put to terribly hard work on landing, and have never recovered.
