Desperate Munster action amid Tory threat and regimental list
A fragmented report describes a costly night action in Munster with Captain Jermyn and Captain Brenaus responsible for killing Captain Gibbons and others, amid doubts over surviving officers. It lists eight regiments of horse and multiple dragoons with 1200 men each, plus numerous foot regiments. The dispatch from The Hague dated June 27 notes continued recruiting and English fleet pressure, with fears of insurrection and cautious movement by General Bredrode and allied commanders toward Texel to prevent landing.
