Seite 128 - Parties to procure forage, whether green or dry, were sent out in charge of an officer as soon as the troops were dismissed. A corporal and three privates of every company, mounted guard at nightfall, whenever the division was encamped. The particular duty expected from the sentinels of these company guards was to keep an eye to the baggage animals belonging to their officers, (which were picketed to the trees or fastened in some other manner,) and to prevent them from breaking loose.
