Took his Colonel's place nevertheless, whom he now saw fall; led the regiment MUTHIG forward on the fourth battery.

A case-shot smashed his right leg to pieces; he fell from his horse [hour not given, shall we say 3 P.M.]; sank, exclaiming: 'KINDER, My children, don't forsake your King!' and fainted there.

Was carried to rear and leftward; laid down on some dry spot in the Elsbruch, not far from the Kuhgrund, and a Surgeon brought.

The Surgeon, while examining, was torn away by case-shot: Kleist lay bleeding without help.

A friend of his, Pfau [who told Kriele], one of Finck's Generals, came riding that way: Kleist called to him; asked how the Battle went; uncommonly glad to hear we are still progressive.
