Besieged Quesnoy Surrenders after Capitulation Terms
From the camp before Quesnoy dated July 4 1742 the garrison agrees to surrender under terms granted to Bouchain last year with prisoners of war to be paroled and officers to keep their rank. The capitulation covers exchange of prisoners and ammunitions while the town’s works and magazines remain intact. The agreement follows a bombardment and a chamade and includes arrangements for troops and officers, hostages, and safe passage. The article notes detachments sent to Merchiennes and Sas van Ghent and details the post capitulation handling of civilians and property.
