Darry Commerce Note on Allied Army Actions and British Militia

Private letters from the Allied army report 4200 French troops in hiding after a late action at Galois. The Marquis of Granby reportedly led a French assault after dismounting his horse. Highlanders suffered heavy losses in a German battle. Proclamations recall British seamen from foreign service and extend naval and land service incentives. Various regiments and officials meet in London to settle claims, raise defenses, and manage militia movements as harvest and local events proceed.
