Jaegar officer Johann von Ewald.
Fighting for the British leading a group of Jaegar.
The armies of Louis XIV invaded the Palatinate region of Germany, forcing residents to flee first to Holland, then by boat from Rotterdam to London. As they were victims of Britain’s enemy, these German-speaking Protestants were at first welcomed in London, and in 1709 the government issued sixteen hundred tents for Palatine encampments in Blackheath and elsewhere. Rather than live in tents in England von Ewalds family emigrated.
