mamelon

Malakov Tower and the Mamelon battery in front of it were the scenes of bloody conflicts.

On June 7, after another terrific bombardment, the French stormed the Mamelon, though not without a serious struggle.

After nearly two days' incessant firing the French stormed the Mamelon and two advance redoubts.

In front of the right attack a work called the Quarries had to be taken, which was done at the same time as the Mamelon.

They reached the summit of the mamelon from which Xenophon was descending, and began rolling down crags.
