I represent Colonel Henry Bouquet. I was a Swiss officer in his Majesty’s 60th (Royal American) Regiment of Foot. I had already given years of distinguished service in America when I was made Brigadier General of the British forces, Southern Brigade. I arrived to take my command on the last day of August 1765. Thirteen days later, on September 12, I died, probably of yellow fever. I was given an honorable officer’s burial near the fort, with a monument made of English gray bricks, and there is much speculation in the world of Pensacola history as to where those English gray bricks are today.
