“November 3rd.—Yesterday (Monday) I had another narrow escape of being shot. I was behind a Venetian door in a turret, with Captain Grant, of the Madras Fusiliers, shooting at the rebels on the top of a sandbagged, loopholed house, from which they were keeping up a hot fire on our picket. While we were firing they sent in several bullets, stinging us with the splinters from the door. Grant had only just picked out some splinters from my neck, and was on the point of taking a shot, when he threw down his rifle, and said, ” I’m shot ! ” I took him downstairs, and laid him down till the doctor came, who dressed his wound and extracted the bullet. I fear from what the doctors say the wound is serious, but it is early to judge. I shall go in the evening to see him, poor fellow.” (Danver)

He had been wounded once in Burma, once on the road to Cawnpore, and now again, but he recovered and lived to the age of 85.” (Dale in “Neill’s Blue Caps)

Privates
Cockshaw, Thomas -died of wounds
Smith, John – died of wounds

“The rebel batteries have been in play more than usual; their range has much improved. Two of our brave Highlanders were hit to-day from sheer exposure; one was killed by a musket-bullet on the spot, while the man standing next to him was mortally wounded by an open breach in the wall. The many deaths resulting from incautiousness prove how familiarity with danger deadens the perception of its existence. In vain have our men been warned of the necessity of caution, to insure their own safety.” (North)

“Colonel Campbell, who had been sinking gradually since yesterday, died at eleven o’clock; he was insensible some time before his death. We felt so glad it had been in our power to give him comforts which he could not have had in the hospital, and thereby in some degree to have eilleviated his sufferings. He was a gallant soldier, and a clear-headed, valuable officer. A curious incident occurred in connection with his illness. During the siege, we had picked up a little white hen, which used to run about and pick up what it could. Just before Colonel Campbell became so very ill, we had decided to kill and eat it, when one morning Johnny ran in and said, ‘Oh, mamma, the white hen has laid an egg !’ We took it at once to Colonel Campbell, it being a great luxury in those days. The hen laid one every day for him till he died, and then ceased for the rest of the siege; but we would not kill it then.” (Inglis)
