I totally agree! I was only referring to the final stage of the battle, which did involve the 78th Reg't pursuing French troops back to the city gates after their lines broke. I've read some graphic period accounts of the havoc wrought with the Highland broadswords on that occasion! The 78th then suffered heavy casualties near the city walls from a crossfire (the highest of any British reg't that day)....
