Potatoes. Fine weather.
Practised
company retreating by sectional rushes (under Jarrard). Later on colonel
supervised retreat. The line moved from centre to rt and left gradually opening
up a space thro’ which supports could fire. The sections retired with left and
rt in a line. At last extreme firing line section got on flank of supports and
deployed to rear to form new supports and so retired.
