Of the approximately 1,300 men Braddock led into battle,^[1] 456 were killed outright and 422 were wounded. Commissioned officers were prime targets and suffered greatly: out of 86 officers, 26 were killed and 37 wounded. Of the 50 or so women that accompanied the British column as maids and cooks, only 4 returned with the British; about half were taken as captives. The French and Canadians reported only 23 killed, including the French commander, and 20 wounded.^{[22]: 235–236} Braddock died of his wounds on July 13, four days after the battle, and was buried on the road near Fort Necessity.

Killed leading the attack at Monongahela. He said to his nativc allies aftter daubing himself in warpaint

« Je suis déterminé à aller au devant des ennemis. Quoi ! laisserez-vous aller votre père seul ? Je suis sûr de les vaincre. »“I am determined to go ahead and meet the enemy. What! Will you let your father go by himself? I am sure to beat them.” Biography of this Canadian hero here.
Contrecouer wrote “The enemy’s artillery caused our people to fall back twice, M. De Beaujeu was killed by the third discharge . . . just as our French and Indians were beginning to hold their own. This accident instead of discouraging our men only reanimated them. . . .”
