My ancestor’s story – To have served under General Marquis de Lafayette
LaFayette took his forces in Virginia and went to protect Richmond on April 30, 1781. (29:25 on this video) General Washington with 8,000 troops and French General Rochambeau with 5,000 troops arrived at Yorktown in late September. In Yorktown, his combined forces totaled 20,000 (37:15). On October 9th, Washington ordered the cannons to begin bombardment of Cornwallis’ encampment (37:45). Five days later, Washington has LaFayette, with 400 light infantry, do a bayonet charge on redoubt number 10 with unloaded muskets, and the French forces would assault redoubt number 9 on the right of the line to be able to move artillery closer to the British positions. The redoubts were taken within thirty minutes (38:15). Three days later the battle would end.
