What curzon saw happening between the british soldier and the american rebel soldier?

Curzon got up when he saw the troops and fighting move away from him. He was surprised when a lone redcoat ran nearby. He was being chased by a boy with gapped teeth who was trying to take the man prisoner. Curzon watched as the two struggled to reload their weapons. Because the redcoat was gaining on the boy, Curzon threw a rock it gave the boy the time he needed to shoot the man.
