"Correct, one again there are many reports which say that those men who were at lunch and turned out in a hurry, only had 40 rounds on them."
Can someone please tell me a single one of these " many reports " that says the men only had 40 rounds ?
Private Bickley wrote " The men were dismissed with orders not to take off there accoutrments."
Private Wilson wrote "Colonel Pulleine gave orders to fall out without taking of their accoutrements."
So they had been specifically ordered to carry all there kit and 70 rounds, so can someone show me the Many Sources that say they had 40 ?

| This thread is specifically about if the men were carrying less then 70 rounds, not the supply to them during the battle. |

He is incorrect, there isn't a single report that says the above, Jackson went through everyone one. |

They say they fired 50 rounds, then went off and fired the rest, ergo they had then 50. |
