Col. James Willington) and Col. Neil Fairclough OBE, Assistant Military Attaché from the British Embassy in Washington.

Thank you to the Press Republican for providing this and other excellent photos by Rachel Moore.



A shower of sparks and smoke erupt as the Buffs fire a company volley during the Saturday tactical.


As rain showers descend on Plattsburgh, the Buffs advance on the U.S. troops, bringing a quick end to the tactical.



During the Sunday tactical, the Buffs have taken casualties and fallen back, but form up for final volleys.

Thanks again to the Press Republican, for these unpublished photos by Aaron Stanley.




Things aren't looking good.



Without much of a guarding force left, the artillery prepares another round.



The tactical over, the Buffs form up, fix bayonets and prepare to present arms to the U.S. troops. In the background, two of the bateaux make their way back up the Saranac River.
