v2.c15.s6.6

“Then three strong divisions united together and bore down on our right wing. Many of our men failed to withstand this onset; they began to give way. But Mangal Khan and Bhure Khan, although wounded, stood fast, and our faces were reddened with the glow of success. Those brave men yielded not their ground but gave their lives as a sacrifice. In a short time victory would have been with the enemy. Then as befits a true leader, I remembered my reputation as a soldier and my devotion to His Majesty’s service. It was plain that there was nothing left except to advance in person and fight like a soldier.
