Incident At Belmont Station

"Were you there Grandpa?"

"Sure thing! I was a Corporal with the Belmont Fusiliers, and we were in the midst of it."

"Let me see......yes, the regular patrol and resupply train was just passing when suddenly,
 the morning was shattered by gunfire! The Oerbergers had broken the truce!
We grabbed our rifles and fell in to wait for orders."

"We figured we'd be sent to reinforce the company of Ross's Rifles that was acting as train guards but before we got our orders, there was a roar and a pile of smoke as the train started to cross the bridge. The  train came to a halt but we cheered when it was clear that the bridge was not going to fall apart wrecking the train."    

"As we crossed the river, Mounted Oerbergers appeared from their hidden lairs and galloped towards the disabled train. Once we opened fire though, they hopped off their horses and replied with a storm of bullets."

Things were looking tight until Larson's Lancers crossed the river. Their trumpeter blew charge and the enemy's horsemen turned and fled. It was the end.   We loaded our rifles, carried the wounded to the town for the medics to treat, and we began to dig graves.
