On the 29th, what seemed to concern him the most, was the defence of the Santon which he at once retrenched, armed and victualled like a fort. He sent me there several times either to repeat his orders, or to see that they had been executed, and was not satisfied without coming back himself and going up the incline on foot. He immediately posted there General Claparede and the 17th light infantry, ordering them to burn their ...last cartridge and get themselves killed there to a man if necessary.
