A particular account of the late battle at Dettingen, on the
River Mayn not having as yet been inserted in this paper for
want of room;. . .
[21: line 22] Just before the French retreated, as we were
advancing up to them his Majesty, with two more generals
only, was in the rear of our regiment, which was part of the
front line, walking on foot. We gave three great huzza's
before the battle, and three more when we had gain'd the
victory. We took twelve pieces of brass cannon, three
standards, and four pair of colours; and we lost a standard,
and a pair of kettle-drums. . . [1/2 col. more]
