Today was not a great day for our regiment.
After our win at the battle of Lundy's Lane, we had those Yankees on the run we pushed them into Fort Erie when all hell broke loose. Our general, General Gordan Drummond set up siege lines and we began bombarding them for about a week because a week later we hit an American magazine chest and he was sure it was time to strike. Unfortunately the hit did not cause as many casualties as we might have thought and General Drummond estimated wrong about their size, they had three-thousand when we suspected that they had only fifteen hundred, also they knew we were coming. At Four O'clock (p.m) laid our attack but in the end every thing went wrong, there were suspected deserters in the other regiments, commander Hercules Scott died in his raid, another magazine chest exploded right under our feet many died from the fall others died from being impaled on their dead allies bayonets only a few survived. In the end we were all left in tears, I never want to see another travesty such as this.
