 | | After joining the battery, where Yesaul Pozdeev had taken over command, I followed in the rear with my platoon, since it had taken fewer losses, and we kept off the enemy pressure with canister fire. |
 | | After selecting a position, Yesaul Pozdeev gave the battery the command, "Unlimber" (24), and at that moment a shot burst forth from the redoubt and hissed over the battery without causing any damage. |
 | | For this action, the batterys commander, Yesaul Pozdeev, was promoted to voiskovoi starshina, Sotnik Ponomarev to yesaul, and Ito sotnik, while Sotnik Rebinin was decorated with the order of St. Vladimir with swords and bow. |
