The Turkish flags were entrusted by Berthier to the Adjutant-Commandant Boyer, who conducted a convoy of sick and wounded to Egypt. Sidney Smith acknowledges the loss of some flags by the Turks.

Approaching the door of the bath, he observed a tall dignified and very powerful Arab sauntering in front of it.
