Having spent seven hourd standing in pouring rain, all troops not on outpost duty were allowed to return to quarters. Due to the downpour, they were not allowed to March back to their camp via the main roads, as these were "required to be kept in reasonable condition as possible" They wereforced to wallow along muddy tracks, increasing their exhaustion.
