The battle of Dettingen, in Bavaria, on
the 10th (27th o. 81 June, 1743, between
the British, Hanoverian and Hessian
troops $4,000 mem, under command OF
George ii, and the French troops 10000
mem, under Marshal Noailles, which re-
suited in the victory of the allied troops,
was the last occasion on which an Eng
fish king fought on the battlefield. His
majesty continued the whole time in the
heat of all the action, which was said by
those who witnessed it TO have been as
fierce conflict as had ever been known.
On the morning of the battle the king
appeared in the same red coat he had
worn at Oudenarde, 35 years before, tax
ing his place at the head of the seven
battalions Of guards. About noon he or
dered a general advance and during the
movements it entailed he was very nearly
taken by the enemy. but was rescued by
the Twenty-second regiment. who, in re-
membrance. wore a sprig of oak in their
caps upon the anniversary of the battle
for many years afterward.-Tit-Bits.
