Letter from King Jan III Sobieski to his wife describing the battle: http://literat.ug.edu.pl/listys/095.htm

Describing the captured booty, the first thing he mentions is camels :)

It is surprising that they brought them, considering that they had besieged Vienna 150 years prior and found that camels were ill-suited to the terrain.
