Need a page number

I did the references using the harv system (short refs are harvnb, meaning no brackets). One sentence in Background was confusing. It includes quotation marks, so I assume the text in quotes was taken from Cordingly 2007, but no page number was given. The sentence is this: Gamo had "22 long 12-pounders, 8 9-pounders and 2 heavy carronades".[3] Ref 3 has no page number. Perhaps someone could find this quote from that source and add the page number to the short ref? --Prairieplant (talk) 09:26, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
