John Chadwick was born in Bolton, Lancashire, England. The only son of a British Army Officer, he enlisted in 1740 at the age of 20. After spending time at a temporary camp at Lexden Heath, near Colchester, Essex in Southeast England, he saw action in Europe.

He fought with Pulteney's Regiment which formed a central front line position of the British Government forces at the Battle of Falkirk where Chadwick suffered a musket shot to his right arm during the initial fighting. He took part in the final defeat of the Jacobite Army at Culloden, 16 April 1746 again, as part of the front rank, facing the Highland charge.

1743 – The War of the Hats: The Swedish army surrenders to the Russians in Helsinki, ending the war and starting Lesser Wrath.^[14]

The Russo-Swedish War of 1741–1743 (also known as The War of the Hats or The Hats' war)^[4] was instigated by the Hats, a Swedish political party that aspired to regain the territories lost to Russia during the Great Northern War, and by French diplomacy, which sought to divert Russia's attention from supporting its long-standing ally the Habsburg monarchy in the War of the Austrian Succession. The war was a disaster for Sweden, which lost more territory to Russia.^[5]

The Gate of Calais or O, the Roast Beef of Old England

 According to Middlesex Trading who do a repro 1717 this painting has 1717s in it. Good excuse to post it.

The Gate of Calais or O, the Roast Beef of Old England is a 1748 painting by William Hogarth, reproduced as a print from an engraving the next year. Hogarth produced the painting directly after his return from France, where he had been arrested as a spy while sketching in Calais. The scene depicts a side of beef being transported from the harbour to an English tavern in the port, while a group of undernourished, ragged French soldiers and a fat friar look on hungrily. Hogarth painted himself in the left corner with a "soldier's hand upon my shoulder."^[1]

Friedrich II "Der Grosse"* – Flötenkonzerte Und Sinfonien

1985. 

Although King Frederick only composed sporadically in his later years—almost his entire life’s work dates from before the Seven Years’ War in 1756, which brought Prussia and its ruler to the verge of ruin—the flute, and flute-playing, remained his loyal companions to his dying days. As late as 1770 the famous soprano Elisabeth Mara acclaimed his ‘strong, full tone and great proficiency’. And the well-travelled English music historian Charles Burney explicitly praised Frederick’s skills: ‘His playing was superior, in many respects, to anything I had heard from amateur or indeed professional flute-players.’ His own compositions, which he performed in small private concerts, were highly valued for their quality, although Frederick would have been well aware that in Quantz, Graun, C.P.E. Bach and other musicians in his court orchestra he had assembled a group of outstanding performers who would breathe new life into the musical life of Berlin and Potsdam in the middle of the 18th century and would have far-reaching effects as the fine arts moved towards a new cultural aesthetic of sensibility, ultimately ushering in the era of Sturm und Drang.

Mollwitz 1741

 Battle of Mollwitz - Wikipedia

The Battle of Mollwitz was fought by Prussia and Austria on 10 April 1741, during the First Silesian War (in the early stages of the War of the Austrian Succession). It was the first battle of the new Prussian King Frederick II, in which both sides made numerous military blunders. Frederick fled the battlefield, but the Prussian Army managed to attain victory. This battle cemented Frederick's authority over the newly conquered territory of Silesia and gave him valuable military experience.
