v2.c51.115

(Dec. 5.)—The British army next invested Gawelgurh.¹ The principal operations were carried on by Colonel Stevenson’s division on the north face, where the troops went through uncommon labour and fatigue in carrying the guns and stores to the point of attack. The outer fort, having been breached by the 14th, was stormed on the ensuing morning; the inner fort was escalated by the light company of the 94th headed by Captain Campbell, who immediately opened the gate and admitted the rest of the troops.
