More and more soldiers die of yellow…
June 1796 CE
By June 1, 1796, of the one thousand from the Sixty-sixth regiment, only one hundred and ninety-eight had not been infected with yellow fever and of the one thousand men of the Sixty-ninth regiment, only five hundred and fifteen are not infected with yellow fever.
Abercromby predicates that at the current rate of yellow fever infection, all of the men from the two regiments will be dead by November.
Ultimately, ten thousand British soldiers have arrived in Saint Domingue by June, but besides for some skirmishing near Bombarde, the British remain put in Port-au-Prince and other coastal enclaves while yellow fever continues to kill them all off.
