[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3955789, member: 7900"] Wikipedia has a slightly different take. They say that there were 5 survivors, when down to each only having one round left to fire, chose to charge with fixed bayonets. The Mexican commander thus ordered his command to cease fire. Danjou was then served by those five survivors to be his honor guard. Danjou had a wooden hand as a result of battle in Europe somewhere, and that hand was retrieved at Camerone and is today a highly honored artifact of the French Foreign Legion.
