[13] ‘Nothing could have been more brilliant and successful. He (Brigadier-General M‘Bean) took by assault seven stockades with most rapid succession, throwing the enemy into the utmost consternation.’ ... The brigadier-general assures me the ardour of his column was irresistible, and speaks highly of the able aid he received from Brigadier-General M‘Creagh; he also reports favourably upon the judicious and gallant style in which Majors Sale and Frith, of the THIRTEENTH and thirty-eighth regiments, led the troops under their respective command.’--_Major-General Sir A. Campbell’s Despatch._ [14] ‘I never witnessed a more dashing charge than was made on this occasion by His Majesty’s THIRTEENTH Light Infantry; while the eighteenth native infantry followed their example with a spirit that did them honour, carrying all opposition before them. They burst through the entrenchments, carrying dismay and terror into the enemy’s ranks, great numbers of whom were slain, and the party returned loaded with arms, standards, and other trophies.’--_Major-General Sir A. Campbell’s Despatch._ [15] ‘All their artillery, stores, and reserve depôts, which had cost them so much labour to get up, with a great quantity of small arms, gilt chattahs, standards, and other trophies fell into our hands. Never was victory more complete or decided, and never was a triumph of discipline and valour, over the disjointed efforts of irregular courage and infinitely superior numbers, more conspicuous. Majors Dennie and Thornhill, of the THIRTEENTH Light Infantry were distinguished by the steadiness with which they led their men.’--_Major-General Sir A. Campbell’s Despatch._ [16] ‘In the list of wounded will be seen with regret the name of Major SALE of His Majesty’s THIRTEENTH Light Infantry, an officer whose gallantry has been most conspicuous on every occasion since our arrival at Rangoon. I am happy to say that his wound, though severe, is not dangerous, and I trust his valuable services will not long remain unavailable.’--_Major-General Sir A. Campbell’s Despatch._ [17] Now Lieut.-General Sir Willoughby Cotton, Commanding the Forces at Bombay. [18] ‘The conduct of His Majesty’s THIRTEENTH and thirty-eighth regiments, during the advance, and their gallantry in the storm, far exceed all that I can write in their praise.’--_Major-General Sir A.
