Battle at Dettingen Ends With Bravery of Our Troops
The narrative chronicles a day of heavy fighting with French lines under pressure on both flanks. British and Austrian cavalry pierced the Household troops, while infantry pressed forward through a fierce cannonade. Casualties run high on both sides, with estimates of 8000 enemy and 2500 of ours. The King named William Duke of Cumberland Lieutenant General. Later items note deaths, marriages, and weather incidents alongside bankrupts and stock prices.
