About this book
The Story of the Highland Regiments is by Frederick Watson. The text says that at Marmorice Abercromby had practised his troops in the order of the attack. The text says that in the teeth of the enemy the British troops managed to reach the beach, where they drove back the French and, hastily assembling, began to rush the face of the hill.
On the morning of the 13th, the text says, the British forces advanced to the attack, with the 90th Regiment and the Gordon Highlanders at the head of the first column. Kitchener is shown standing in the centre like a circus-master while the first batch of fellah officers, tested in horsemanship, go round Indian file. On one occasion, the text says, the Indians had inferior weapons but enormous superiority in numbers and were familiar with every foot of the country, and it fell to the Black Watch to drive them out of their position.
