Captain Lawrence Robert Campbell, 71st Regiment

"The two companies of Grenadiers, which I had the command of, immediately repaired to the post which had been previously pointed out by Lt. Col. Johnson. We had no sooner taken our ground when there commenced a very heavy fire from the Rebels upon my party and that of Captain Tew, who was immediately on my left, which lasted about 20 or 30 minutes. About the expiration of that time I got wounded, and was going for the hospital on the rock in the Upper Works. When I had nearly arrived there, I saw a number of the garrison that had been stationed at that particular part, and having stopped them, I asked the reason of their running from it. I was informed that the work had been carried by storm and on this intelligence I returned and was told that there were one or two flat bottomed boats at the Ferry under a Guard, still remaining. I repaired thither and got into one and was carried on board a transport. I had not got far from shore when I perceived that the enemy turned the cannon in the Upper Works upon the shipping laying in the river. What happened afterwards, I cannot say."

Campbell became one of only two British officers to escape capture during the battle - Lt. John Roberts of the Royal Artillery was the other.
