The 44th attack proved successful taking their section of castle wall and displaying the colours on the wall. Sadly the attack by other regiments proved less successful which allowed a counter attack by the garrison.

After smuggling the colours to safety the men on the ramparts surrendered as resistance would have been pointless.

This was to be the last battle of the first part of the Napoleonic Wars as Napoleon was exiled to Elba shortly after the battle.

Listed below are officers who were killed or wounded.

Sadly names of the other ranks are not available but 2 Sergeants, 1 drummer and 38 men were killed while 11 Sergeants, 3 drummers and 205 men were taken prisoner. 

Lt Colonel George Carelton
