Battle of Braddock Down happened on 1643-01-19.
General Edward Braddock suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of the Wilderness (Battle of Monongahela) in July 1755. Braddock was mortally wounded in the battle by a shot through the chest. Braddock was borne off the field and died on 13 July 1755, four days after the battle. He was buried just west of Great Meadows, where the remnants of the column halted on its retreat to reorganise. Braddock was buried in the middle of the road and wagons were rolled over top of the grave site to prevent his body from being discovered and desecrated. George Washington presided at the burial service, as the chaplain had been severely wounded. In 1804, human remains believed to be Braddock's were found buried in the roadway about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Great Meadows by a crew of road workers. The remains were exhumed and reburied. A marble monument was erected over the new grave site in 1913 by the Coldstream Guards. The grave site is considered to be British territory.
General Edward Braddock was fatally shot at an encounter with French soldiers and their Indian allies from Fort Duquesne during the French and Indian War in 1755. George Washington was serving as a volunteer and helped carry the General off the field.
