See that the men have four days' biscuit in their haversacks.
"Each battalion is to take three carts with it.

I will go to the quartermaster's department, to draw them.

Tell off six men from each battalion to accompany me, and take charge of the carts.

Each battalion will carry 25,000 rounds of spare ammunition, and a chest of 250 pounds.

I will requisition from the commissariat as much biscuit as we can carry, and twenty bullocks for each battalion, to be driven with the carts.
"As soon as the carts are obtained, the men will drive them to the ordnance stores for the ammunition, and to the commissariat stores to load up the food.
