Battle of Jersey 1781
So we had our own Revwar battle in the UK when a French force landed and tried to capture Jersey. Commemorated by this painting by J Singleton Copley. Anyone know anything about the French force - what regiments were they from? Battle wiki
According to the Osprey book, the French Army in the American War of Independence, it was a unit called the Volontaires de Luxembourg.
