Private Waterfield in Ambala - 1 March, 1848
from Memoir of Private Waterfield, 1 Mar. 1848, page 40:
General Beat at half past 3 a.m. 15 miles to Ambala. Road much broken, consequently we were nearly smothered in dust. As soon as our new station became visible our band began to play some lively airs.
