Audiobook Dictation: “When morning came the firing opened…”

When morning came the firing opened, and for all that day the battle raged fiercely at the left and center left, we getting the worst of it, too.

Ketika pagi tiba, tembakan dimulai, dan sepanjang hari itu pertempuran berkecamuk sengit di sayap kiri dan tengah kiri, dan kami pula yang paling dirugikan.

The Rebels were charging works that they themselves had built when they held the town during Halleck's siege. General Haccelman and many other of our officers had fallen.

Kaum pemberontak menyerbu benteng-benteng yang mereka bangun sendiri ketika menguasai kota itu selama pengepungan Halleck. Jenderal Haccelman dan banyak perwira kami lainnya telah gugur.

Our own division, though fighting some, had lost but few men.

Divisi kami sendiri, meski ikut bertempur sedikit, hanya kehilangan sedikit orang.

That evening an order came for us--Hamilton's Division--to assault the enemy's left flank at midnight.

Malam itu datang perintah kepada kami--Divisi Hamilton--untuk menyerbu sayap kiri musuh pada tengah malam.

Before the hour came, however, the move was decided to be too dangerous, and we changed our position to one nearer the forts.

Namun, sebelum waktunya tiba, gerakan itu diputuskan terlalu berbahaya, dan kami pindah ke posisi yang lebih dekat ke benteng-benteng.

All the night we lay there under the brightest moonlight I ever saw.

Sepanjang malam kami berbaring di sana di bawah cahaya bulan paling terang yang pernah kulihat.

Under the same quiet moonlight, and only six hundred yards away from us, also lay the victorious Rebel army.

Di bawah cahaya bulan yang sama tenangnya, dan hanya enam ratus yard dari kami, berbaring pula pasukan pemberontak yang menang.

Yet it looked very bad for us.

Namun keadaan tampak sangat buruk bagi kami.

Every house in town was full of our wounded and our dead lay everywhere.

Setiap rumah di kota itu penuh dengan prajurit kami yang terluka, dan jenazah kami bergelimpangan di mana-mana.
