还有第28团在埃及。
"... The French charged in three columns, the left of which came round the left flank of our regiment, over the ground which the 42d regiment had left, to charge it in the rear, whilst it was warmly assailed by the infantry in front, and just as this column was making the turn to come upon our rear, they overtook me. At that time Colonel Paget ordered the regiment to the right about, and firing a volley as the enemy came within a few horse lengths, occasioned a most dreadful carnage; such a quantity of horses falling from the fire, occasioned many others to stumble, and fall upon them, the others were thrown into complete disorder, and made all speed to return. In joining my regiment I had to jump over several of the enemy's dead horses and men, and turning around, was astonished at the execution which had so instantaneously been done. After the volley the 28th faced about again and resumed their fire on their assailants in front, such as had ammunition; but many having now expended it all, resulted to throwing of stones, and, indeed, some of the enemy had recourse to the same weapons."
