The ground on which the armies lay was a sandy plain, with straggling trees, but a part on the left of the British was soft and boggy. Each army prepared for battle, by forming line. The British right consisted of the light infantry, and the Welsh fusileers ; the 33d regiment and the volunteers of Ireland formed the centre ; and the jirovincials composed the left, having the marshy ground in their front. Wiiilst this formation was going on. Captain Charles Campbell, who commanded the Highland l...ight companies on the right, mounted the stump of an old tree to reconnoitre, and perceiving the enemy in mo- tion, as if they intended to turn his flank, he leaped down, muttering to himself, " I'll see you damned first, " and calling to his men, said, " Re- member j'ou are light infantry ; remember you are Highlanders : — charge I" The Highlanders instantly rushed forward, and such was the impetuosity of the attack, that the division of the enemy which was to have surrounded the right of the British, was completely broken and driven from the field before the battle commenced in the other parts of the line.
