Grenadier H., thrice wounded, nevertheless continued to take part in the fighting, while he called his comrade's attention to the houses from which the inhabitants were firing.
Late in the afternoon, since the whole place was not yet in our hands, the artillery bombarded the town, which now, for the most part, became enveloped in flames.
Towards 8 o'clock in the evening the house-fighting in the midst of the burning streets broke out once more for a short time.
The civilians detained in the prison were brought out. Old men, women, and children were released; the men were led by up to Marche as prisoners.
On the morning of August 24th, after the pontoons had been repaired, the regiment began to cross in pursuit of the retreating enemy. While this was going on, shots from different houses struck the marching column.
