repel a possible French invasion.
The conditions in these forts were damp and cold, many were the servicemen who were to be become ill,
who were billeted in them. Sapper Slaughter, had been on an all night watch, the weather for the previous week had been extremely cold and wet, he went to bed, he did not feel very well. He failed to
respond to the roll call, and an N.C.O. was sent to find him. He was found to be shivering, and running a high temperature. He was immediately taken to the medical quarters; a doctor diagnosed a fever.
