Edward Vibart, a 19-year-old officer, also recorded his experience:
It was literally murder... I have seen many bloody and awful sights lately but such a one as I witnessed yesterday I pray I never see again.
The women were all spared but their screams on seeing their husbands and sons butchered, were most painful...
Heaven knows I feel no pity, but when some old grey bearded man is brought and shot before your very eyes, hard must be that man's heart I think who can look on with indifference...
