Je me joignis a plusieurs officiers dont la situation était analogue a la mienne, et nous parvînmes a atteindre sans encombre la ville de Candahar ; j’y retrouvai mon régiment et le jour meme j’entrai dans mes nouvelles fonctions.
I followed, however, with many other officers who were in the same situation as myself, and succeeded in reaching Candahar in safety, where I found my regiment, and at once entered upon my new duties.
