The action on 13 June, shown on this map, was part of the siege of Cuddalore which lasted from 7 June to 25 July. British troops, including Hanoverians, under the command of Major General James Stuart had arrived in the area on 7 June. The decision was made to attack the redoubt on the 13th. Although both sides suffered serious losses, Stuart went on to lay siege proper to the town.
