Elm Brook Hill, “Bloody Angle,” Lincoln

The much voluble Lt. William Sutherland recalled that, “Upon a height to my right hand a vast number of armed men drawn out in battalia order, I dare say near 1000 who on our coming nearer dispersed into the wood, & came as close to the road on our flanking parties as they possibly could, upon our ascending the height to the road gave us a very heavy fire, but some shot from the left hand drew my attention that way when I saw a much larger body drawn up to the left . . .” The fire converged on the British column causing Regulars to drop by ones and twos as the column pressed on.
