The army that Burgoyne launches on June …
Years: 1777 - 1777
June
The army that Burgoyne launches on June 14 has about seven thousand regulars and over one hundred and thirty artillery pieces ranging from light mortars to twenty-four pound (eleven kilogram) pieces.
His regulars are organized into an advance force under Brigadier General Simon Fraser, and two divisions.
Major General William Phillips leads the thirty-nine hundred British regulars on the right, while Baron Riedesel's thirty-one hundred Brunswickers and Hanauers hold the left.
His regular troops start out in good condition but some, notably some of the German dragoons, are poorly equipped for wilderness fighting.
