The morning was spent going over reports, ordering repairs to the portions of the city that had been bombarded and burned, and cleaning the remainder of the battlefield after the Dagos troops were long gone.
There was a surprising amount of military equipment simply abandoned on the battlefield. The artillery had destroyed the transport vehicles, and many of them had never even been opened, with whole loads of supplies still inside when the Burton defence force went to collect them for parts.
Over a hundred vehicles were pulled into the city the first day, all staged near the gates for inspection.
Loose supplies, weapons, and the storage devices of the fallen officers were all taken by the survivors. But spare uniforms, blankets, camp supplies, enlisted men's weapons, and much more were discarded as too heavy to carry, or too hard to sell once they got home.
