Transcriptiontroops during the siege was 13.9, while that of the white infantry was 20.1 percent (See above). The number of tours of duty performed by the blacks as compared with the white infantry was as 56 to 41. But the grand guard duty which was considered more wearing than fatigue was all done by the whites. The efficiency and health of a battalion depends so much on its officers, that in order to institute a fair comparison, when so small a number of troops are considered, this element should be eliminated. This has not however been attempted in this paper.
