Schleswig-Holstein War - Burning of the Lesser Camp, at Kochendorf, 1850. "The heavy firing at Eckernforde, to the east, continued after nightfall; it is said it was only intended to check the advance of the Holstein infantry on the town while the Danish troops were embarked in their ships and boats and taken across the bay, but I cannot answer positively for what I did not see. A mill behind the town was set on fire, and burnt for many hours. It is reported this morning that Eckernforde is in possession of the Holsteiners, but it is a question if they can hold it, as they are always open to an attack from the water". From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
