I have read several first hand accounts of knapsacks being dropped off in a town and stored at the beginning of a campaign/march. I have read only one account of returning and getting those knapsacks back by an Orderly Sgt who happened to be British serving in the AOT I believe. Sorry but I can't remember his name or the name of the book while I am at work. He remarked about the men who were now dead and was reminded of them when he saw their knapsacks there.
My question is do you know of any other accounts of retrieving their knapsacks. I am specifically looking for accounts of what was done with the knapsacks of the fallen once the regiment returned to re-claim them.
Thanks,
