Capture of Amoy by British Fleet and Troops

Official dispatches describe the Amoy operation where the British fleet led by Sir Hugh Gough and Sir William Parker attacked the Chinese citadel at Ko long so and the White Fort. After a four hour bombardment and landing by the 18th and 49th regiments with Marines, the city surrendered with limited casualties, while forts on the island of Ko-sang-soo were seized and Amoy entered without major resistance.
