Battle of Red Bank

Took place today in 1777 when Hessians tried to take Fort Mercer. Wiki here.
Hero of the hour was apprentice Jonas Cattell who warned of the surprise Hessian attack. The Hessians sustained heavy casualties.

Hessian in the U.K.

 This portrayal is 2 years in the making. Von Donop 1776. By Marshall Beresford.  Very good. Check out his Facebook page here .
