No attempt to describe it will be made here.
Suffice to say that on the 10th of June, 1755, Braddock's army left Fort Cumberland 2,150 strong, as stated in the journal of Captain Orme, of the general's staff. This force con- sisted of 1,400 British regulars, about 500 Virginia Provincials, and a miscellaneous force of 250 more, composed of three inde- pendent companies, in the king's pay, each about 60 strong; a small troop of Provincial Light Horse from Virginia — about 30 men — 10 guides, and
... 30 sailors from the Centurion, sent along to help handle the artillery of the expedition. It was a tedious march, during which not more than ten miles a day was traversed, by reason of the delay in making a road practicable for the wagon-train and the heavier arms.
Braddock, fretted by these delays, iinally, by the advice of Sir Peter Halket, Captain Orme, and his special Provincial aide-de- camp, Major George Washington, deter- mined to leave the heavy baggage and guns behind with a guard of 700 men under Colonel Dunbar, and to push forward, by forced marches, with a column in light march- 126 Braddock's Defeat ing order, composed of 1,000 British regulars and 400 Virginia Provincials.
