He mentions the Seven Years War, 1756 to 1763. In the description he has the colonists fighting against British troops and Indian allies. This is completely wrong. That war (in the colonies, which started in 1754) was between the British empire (including colonists) and the French empire. Indians were present on both sides. It was only after the war was over that Great Britain and the colonies started falling out - leading to the American revolution.

My mother (Lady Lloyd) is hoping to make a trip to England to see where it all happened now that it is opened to the public. We live in Victoria, Australia and I think someone should write her story which would be first hand information. Yours sincerely Judith Kent Melbourne.
