This is the French force (from Kronoskaf)
land force under the command of Brigadier-general M. de Flobert (as of October 1759 but now reduced to only 1,345 men)

Excellent sir. Good to see Charlie's book get the recognition it deserves.
I wonder if anyone can help. As a resident of the Isle of Man, I am currently researching the Battle of Bishops Court which ended Thurot's invasion of Carrickfergus. I am having difficulty in finding a copy of this book and wondered if anyone knows where a copy could be purchased. Failing that a copy on loan would be most appreciated.
