seven o'clock
Turning around , I saw behind us in the valley the point of the clock-tower of Gross-Gorschen , and farther on , to the right and left , five or six little villages built in the hollows between the hills , for it is a country of hills , and the villages of Kaya , Eisdorf , Starsiedel , Rahna , Klein-Gorschen and Gross-Gorschen , which I knew before , are between them , on the borders of little lakes , where poplars , willows and aspens grow . Gross-Gorschen , where we bivouacked , was farthest advanced in the plain , toward the Elster ; Kaya was farthest off , and behind it passed the high-road from Lutzen to Leipzig . We saw no fires on the hills save those of our division ; but the entire corps occupied the villages scattered in our rear , and head-quarters were at Kaya . At seven o'clock the drums and the trumpets of the artillery sounded the reveille . We went down to the village , some to look for wood , others for straw or hay . Ammunition-wagons came up , and bread and cartridges were distributed . There we were to remain , to let the army march by upon Leipzig ; this was why Sergeant Pinto said we would be in the rear-guard .
