From the Report of the Select committee...:
'It is marvellous that any doubt or obscurity should ever have been cast upon the incidents of that battle, or upon the fact as to who were the prominent and conspicuous actors in it. It is true that the insidious effects of a noxious climate, more fatal than the arms of their British foes, carried off some of them to their eternal repose very shortly...'.
The Battle of Craney Island took place 22 June 1813.
Did my presumed ancestor, William Hinds, succumb to the effects of a noxious climate?
