                At the same time, British army captured two more trenches of Gurkha. A British army soldier Dhaukal Singh showed special bravery. The army led by L.C Gardner captured three Gurkha trenches of Sitolidhar. Fifty British irregular army soldiers of fourth regiment remained in Sitolidhar and balance followed running Gurkha soldiers. There were five roads joining at Kalamtiya . British captured fenced Gurkha camp at Kalamtia. Therefore, the communication line between Almora and Sitolidhar was cut. Perhaps, Narshah Chauntara was commander of Kalamtia Camp. According to Bamshah Gurkha soldiers tried their best for defending Kalamtia camp. Nicholas praised the bravery of Indian soldiers of British army.
            On that night, Nicholas established his camp at Pokharkhal fort. The length and width of that fort was 60 yard. Gurkha soldiers vacated that fort.  Defeated Gurkha soldiers ran away towards Almora. British army soldiers reached near Almora following running Gurkha soldiers. British army soldiers camped at Haridungari hillock above Pokharkhal.  
               Then 250 fourth regiment soldiers were sent with flank companies to south of Almora city.
    Bamshah tried his best for defending Almora and Lalmandi forts. At the same time Angad Sardar and a few commanders reached to Almora. Bamshah instructed 30 soldiers to fight by Khukari. However, Gurkha soldiers could not defend. British army took shelter at Deepchand temple yard. From there, British army started firing by two Howitzers. By six PM, British army started firing below Almora fort.
  Bamshah sent message to Kaji Bhandari that he should attack on British army at Haridungari in midnight.  Bamshah sent message that as soon you attack Gurkha would attack on British army at Deepchand temple.
