Battle of Île de la Rivière

On October 14th, 1763, the Royal Navy attacked France and colonized the island of Île de la rivière and renamed it Jamestown. In the battle 12 British soldiers died and 31 injured and out of them 2 where heavily injured and one lost his arm. The French suffered more than the Royal Navy as they lost 34 lives and had 48 wounded and out of them 4 where heavily injured and 2 of them lost there limbs because the British blasted their legs by cannons and muskets and chopped their arms by swords in the main battle. Île de la Rivière means "River Island" in English. The French had sent 130 soldiers so that means they had 82 casualties. the French general Gardien des heures, had a tactic that hooks with 3 men on board each will fire with there chaser cannons and snipe the ritish men, that tactic didn't work out as thought, they only managed to kill 3 men and wound 13. Then the French flagship, Destructeur de navires, a corvette class ship, went and sunk a few Sharks. That only did a little damage as many men were rescued aboard on the HMS Ferdinand, a British Sloop of war which was the flagship of the fleet under the command of Captain Samuel James who rekt the French fleet and captured the island. The British had only brought 74 men cuz they thought the French would have bought around 60 but boy they where wrong. They where outnumbered and afraid, but they where well trained and they had 43 casualties. It was bloody, and 46 people died for an island with a population of 57. The battle had seen 125 casualties.
