Thanksgiving Proclamation for Ireland Amid War News
The Lords Justices and Council of Ireland issue a proclamation of thanksgiving for God’s aid in the ongoing war against France. Marlborough’s campaigns are praised, Lisle, Ghent, and Bruges cited as successes. A national day of thanksgiving is ordered for March 17 with prayers arranged in churches. Reports from Ghent note French plans, sieges, and troop movements, while Brussels and Liege describe hardships from deep frost and supplies.
