Booker was Francis Clark.
Bugle-Major of the Queen's Own Rifles.
Question from the Court--Did you sound the "halt" on the 2nd of June, by order of Lieut.-Col.

Booker during the retreat?
Answer--Yes, repeatedly.

He used his best endeavors to halt the men, and then he went forward amongst the men and asked them to halt and front and form.

It had no effect, and he said, "Oh, God! what is this ?" They still moved on.

They retreated, red and green mixed together, as far as I could see, to the turn of the road.
