Battle of Leecaster: Difference between revisions

[[Richard Dickson]] decided the best place for a battle was between two mountains near [[Leecaster]]. When all the armies were mustering, Richard told his [[Vice Commander of the Newfoundland Armed Forces|Vice Commander]] "I do not think our country shall survive today's bloodshed, there is little hope for our victory." Originally the battle was intended to only have two Newfoundland armies, the Army of Bay Du Nord under the command of [[Andrew Stewart]] and the Army of St. John under the command of [[Kayden Chapman]] but during the heat of battle one of Richard's aides spotted a force marching behind their right flank and he was about to tell the general they were flanked but he realized that it was really the [[Army of St. Anthony]] under the command of Richard's brother and former [[Consul of Newfoundland|Newfoundland Consul]] [[Alexander Dickson]]. The St. Anthony army had thought to have been lost, routed during the 16 days campaign but there they were preparing to help defeat the British one last time.
