Under Bamford, whose "totally unperturbed manner" is said to have had a galvanising effect on his men, several platoons formed up for an attack on the heavily fortified position at the end of the mole.
Bamford, meanwhile, had somehow remained almost unscathed and was able to supervise the orderly return to the ship of the men once the recall had sounded.
Bamford, as the senior company commander, was detailed to supervise the collection and counting of the slips while Chater and Major Bernard Weller, the acting CO following the death of Lt.Col Bertram Elliott and Major Alexander Cordner early in the raid, retired to the mess drawing room.

 EMLS 6.2 (Septembert, 2000) 15.1-3: Review of A Feminist Perspective on Renaissance Drama
In Chapter 4 Findlay turns to "household tragedies" including Romeo and Juliet, The Changeling and The Tragedy of Mariam--and here her use of the Thynne family letters illuminates women's experience of the patriarchal marriage system in early modern England.
In her final chapter Findlay analyzes history plays--in particular, Marlowe's Edward II, Cary's Edward II, and Shakespeare's Richard II--in relation to the experience of female rulers like Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots and Henrietta Maria.
She argues, moreover, that "the plays' explorations of authority and exclusion broaden out beyond the royal context to address the situations of female subjects in the audience, women who inevitably found it difficult to assert themselves into history" (164).
