Battle of Wuppertell Bridge

Just two days after the Battle of Tenterfield further East, a force of Unionist Ostarian and Pudigroan troops forced the bridge several miles East of Wuppertell in an effort to relieve pressure on the troops holding out in Tenterfield. Orders of battle at end of post.

The Joccian forces defending the bridge held as long as they could, but were outnumbered in cavalry and guns. Despite holding the bridge, the Joccian right flank succumbed to a Pudigroan two brigade advance.

It was up to the Joccian Guard to form square and serve as a rear guard.

The attacking Unionists lost about 384 men, the defending Associates lost 296, including General Watson captured with the colors of the Joccian Dragoons taken by the Pud Cuirassiers.
