The Prussian hussars of the advanced guard, having received
information, that a great number of French hussars of
Poleresky's regiment was at Nord Drebber, determined to
drive them from thence; which resolution they executed so
successfully, that after the slaughter of three officers and
fifty hussars, they made the Colonel Poleresky (who was
dangerously wounded) with two captains, two lieutenants, and
an hundred and thirty hussars, prisoners of war, and took
besides ten standards, a pair of kettledrums, and three
hundred horses.
