He also notes "Hither the ships ought to have come" where they could have commanded the neck of land where the American forces escaped after the final British charge up the hill. He lists notable deaths and injuries suffered by the British forces. Prime meridian: GM. Relief: hachures. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Plane. Watermark: Fleur-de-lis on shield GP.
