Inkermann battle memories and tiger encounter turn grim
A private recalls the Inkermann fight with round shot and bayonet charges, the brutal kill zone, and the emotional toll. He then recounts a night atop a tamarind tree where a tiger attacked a bullock, threatening him until a peon’s failure to cock a rifle left him alone until dawn when a final shot killed the beast.
