behind. His artillery were posted to cover the passage of the stream,
over which extra pontoon bridges had been thrown. So he waited until
Eugene was ready to engage.

This happened about 1 p.m., and the battle on this side was hotly
contested to the end, with varying results; indeed, the Irish Brigade
assailed the infantry of Marlborough’s right centre with serious
results, until checked, and finally Marsin was able to retreat in good
order. Meanwhile, on the other flank, Cutts had been able to “contain”
Blenheim, and then, about 5 p.m., Marlborough’s centre crossed
between the villages of Unter and Oberglauheim, and, supported as far
as possible by guns, vigorously attacked and broke the centre of the
defence, and the battle was practically over. For the separation of
the wings obliged Marsin to fall back on Dillingen; and Blenheim, with
twenty-four battalions and twelve squadrons, was compelled to surrender.

The Allied loss came to about 5000 killed and 8000 wounded. Of the
French, 12,000 were killed and 14,000 made prisoners; while all the
cannon and stores, some 300 colours, the general commanding, and 12,000
officers, were captured.

The “advice to officers,” printed at Perth in 1795, tells a quaint
story of the conduct of the men of the 15th Foot during the battle.
One of the senior officers, who knew he was unpopular because of his
severity with his men, turned round to them before getting under fire,
and confessed he had been to blame, and begged to fall by the hands
of the French, not theirs. “March on, sir,” replied a grenadier; “the
enemy is before us, and we have something else to do than think of you
now.” On the French giving way, the major took off his hat and cried,
“Huzzah, gentlemen!--the day is our own”; and, so saying, he fell dead,
pierced through the brain; whether even then accidentally or otherwise
by some of his own men or by the enemy, will never be known. But the
death of officers by other bullets than those of the enemy is no new
thing, if past stories and tradition be true
in second line 
 behind. His artillery were posted to cover the enactment of the flow, 
 over which extra pontoon bridges had been thrown. then he waited until 
 Eugene was ready to betroth. 

 This happen about 1 p.m., and the struggle on this side was hotly 
 contest to the end, with varying results; indeed, the Irish Brigade 
 assailed the infantry of Marlborough ’s correct centre with unplayful 
 results, until checked, and ultimately Marsin was able to retreat in good 
 order. Meanwhile, on the early flank, Cutts had been able to “ contain ” 
 Blenheim, and then, about 5 p.m., Marlborough ’s kernel crossed 
 between the village of Unter and Oberglauheim, and, supported as far 
 as possible by guns, vigorously attacked and break the centre of the 
 defence, and the battle was practically over. For the interval of 
 the wings obliged Marsin to fall back on Dillingen; and Blenheim, with 
 twenty - four battalions and twelve squadrons, was compelled to surrender. 

 The Allied loss came to about 5000 killed and 8000 injure. Of the
