The cavalry, however, trotted forward, and they ran back in confusion, bunching together as they did so. The battery immediately exploded two shrapnel shells in their midst with great effect. This ended the affair, and the troops returned to camp. The casualties were as follows:-- BRITISH OFFICERS. Wounded severely--2nd Lieutenant G.N.S. Keene. " slightly--Captain L.I.B. Hulke.
