Lt. Col. Seth Pomeroy était présent aussi (il couvre la retraite du début)
Israel Putnam était là aussi (connecticut regiment), futur général de la révolution à venir...

Only one of the regiments was uniformed in blue, the rest wearing their daily clothing, as the militiamen of the Revolution did usually.
They had no bayonets but carried hatchets in their belts as a sort of a substitute.
