Fort Lepoulet...(near Bourek)

 A small supply train reaches fort Lepoulet from the nearby town of Bourek....

Not long after they came under intermittent sniper fire for a couple of days. The day after that there was a desultory assault on the main gate which was easily repulsed....

Two days later things began to look more threatening as more attackers arrived and encircled the fort ...

All the commander of the fort could hope for was some help was on the way; perhaps a telegraph message had been sent from Bourek ... only time would tell....
