Memorial Day: Remembering the Scottish Generals of the US War of Independence

[MacBean]

Thanks for the great inclusion and link for Hugh Mercer. Cut down on the field of battle was he? I think I'll make a little space for him in my mind and heart next to DeKalb who was cut down while defending the disastrous retreat of the Southern part of the Continental Army.

While he wasn't a general, John Paul Jones certainly deserves a mention here as well:
