I'm guessing he didn't enjoy August 18 very much at all.

Perhaps enjoyed most of it...before being shot by Samuel Morrow of Spartanburg District, S.C.

"Captain Charles Campbell, who commanded the light infantry, was unfortunately killed near the end of the affair. His death cannot be mentioned without regret. He was a young officer, whose conduct and abilities afforded the most flattering prospect that he would be an honour to his country."

(Morrow got it wrong, though...he was of the light infantry, not light horse.)
