BATTLE Of FORT
CARILLON,
TICONDEROGA, 8th JULY 1758

The Battle of Fort Carillon, was
fought on July 8, 1758
In the battle, which took place primarily on
a rise about three-quarters of a mile (one km) from the fort
itself, a French army of about 4,000 men under General
Louis-Joseph de Montcalm and the
Chevalier de Levis
decisively defeated an overwhelmingly numerically superior
force of British troops under General
James
Abercrombie, which
frontally assaulted an entrenched French position without
using
field
artillery.
Abercrombie,
confident of a quick victory, ignored several viable
military options, such as
flanking the French
breastworks, waiting for his artillery, or laying
siege to the fort. Instead, relying on a flawed report from
a young
military engineer, and ignoring some of that
engineer's recommendations, he decided in favor of a direct
frontal assault on the thoroughly entrenched
French, without the benefit of
artillery.
The battle
was the bloodiest of the war, with over 3,000 casualties
suffered, of which over 2,000 were British.
The 42nd Regiment,
known as the
Black
Watch, paid dearly with the loss of many lives
and many severely wounded. More than 300 men (including 8
officers) were killed, and a similar number were wounded,
representing a significant fraction of the total casualties
suffered by the British.
