Clifford Raymond in an article in Lib erty. “It was British tradition,” continues the author, “that troops could take a position in frontal attack, carrying material for filling ditches and lad ders for scaling walls. It was also in the history of British regiments In America that they had not done it on many occasions; but Takenham, with his reputation to maintain, was con vinced that he had do it, even with Andrew Jackson animating, the troops behind the breastworks. “Takenham died rallying the men,” v explains Raymond, “when they with ered under the rille and artillery fire. Before that fire, in 25 minutes the storm troops of Great Britain disap peared. There were^00 killed, 1.400 wounded, and *500 taken prisoners. The American loss .was 8 killed and 15 wounded.” RSDAY, MARCH 1ST. 1928- OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
