The Marquis de Bouille commanded the 8,000 French Troops who bombarded the 1,000 British at Brimstone Hill for a full month until they were forced to surrender. The British garrison was allowed to march out as an undefeated force with their standards held high.

One year later, after the Treaty of Versailles returned St Kitts to British control, the French force was afforded the same honor when they were forced to surrender.
