Message: <blockquote data-quote="Declan" data-source="post: 114149" data-attributes="member: 1">Remembering The Battle Of BallinamuckOn September 8th 1798 the combined French & Irish forces under the command of General Humbert fought the British at Ballinamuck.The combined French & Irish forces had previously seen victories at Killala, Ballina, Castlebar and Collooney but were now marching to meet up with rebels in Longford & Westmeath with two large British forces totalling about 26,000 troops in hot pursuit.By September 7th it was clear they were surrounded, the rebels in Longford & Westmeath had been defeated and were weary of the constant skirmishes with the British, so Humbert decided to make a stand at the town of Ballinamuck in County Longford.On September 8th the battle began with a short artillery duel and a British dragoon charge on the Irish rebels when French lines were reached Humbert decided to surrender after about an hour of fighting.But the Irish rebels led by Colonel Teeling fought on but were attacked by British infantry & charged by the dragoons, which scattered the Irish rebels who were ruthlessly pursued into a bog where they were bayoneted or drowned.The battle resulted in the deaths of  500 Irish rebels and 200 taken prisoner but later hanged including Wolf Tone's brother Matthew Tone. The French were treated as prisoners of war except for their officers who were Irish.In total 96 French officers and 746 soldiers were taken prisoner and brought to Dublin by canal and traded for English prisoners of war.#IrishRevolutionaries</blockquote>
