1796 CE

Castries is burned in 1796 as part of the Anglo-French conflict.

General John Moore retakes Fort Charlotte in 1796 with the 27th Inniskilling Fusiliers after two days of bitter fighting.

As an honor, the Fusiliers' regimental color is displayed on the flagstaff of the captured fortress at Morne Fortune for an hour before being replaced by the Union Jack.

Moore now participate in British efforts to repress the slave rebels until falling ill of yellow fever, upon which he will return to Britain before 1798.
