On the following day, General Middleton began to make ready for his march toward Batoche’s, where the Rebels’ stronghold is located.  Meanwhile the following sick and wounded have been left at the hospital at dark’s Crossing, under the care of Dr. Orton:  Captain Clark; Privates Hislop, Harris, Stovel, Matthews, Code Jarvis, Canniff, Lethbridge, Kemp, Bruce; Captain Gardner; Privates Perrin, King, Dunn, McDonald, Cummings, Jones, R. Jones, Wilson, Morrison, Woodman, Imrie, Asseline, Lailor; Sergeant Mawhinney, Private Wainwright.
