When the injured were brought to Carlisle there was not sufficient recommeciation for them all at the Infirmary, and many were taken to private houses and hotels. Seventy four cases were admitted to the Infirmary, 17 had beils at the County Hotel, and others Bry scattered over the city.
The death roll among the 7th Royal Scots, two companies of which regiment were travelling on the troop train, is particularly heavy. I hear that some of the men lost their lives while attempting to save their comrades. After the first collision they jumped out of the tanin and were opening the doors of carriages where men and been hurt when the express dashed into them, and simply moved them down.
