"British Soldiers in the Battle of Princeton
4th Brigade under Lt. Colonel Charles Mawheed
This Brigade entered Princeton on January 2, 1777, to take over the garrisoning of the town from the already departed 2nd Brigade under Brigadier General Leslie, and it was apparently quite unfamiliar with the locale, as demonstrated by the failure to re-establish a picket post at the Quaker Road (General Leslie had placed 100 men on alert duty there).
The 4th Brigade consisted of the following units:
17th Regiment of British Foot - about 246 men
40th Regiment of British Foot - about 333 men
55th Regiment of British Foot - about 116 men
1 troop, 16th Dragoons, Mounted - about 30 men
6 troops, 16th Dragoons, unmounted - about 204 men
less troops at Hillsborough - 70 men
Total at Princeton about 859 men
Casualties suffered by these troops at the Battle of Princeton were reported to be as follows:
Killed, Wounded, Missing or Captured
17th Regiment of British Foot 13 --- 53 --- 35
40th Regiment of British Foot 0 --- 1 --- 93
55th Regiment of British Foot 5 --- 4 --- 72
Total 18 --- 58 --- 200
There is no report of Dragoon casualties.
Of those [British] killed, one was an officer - Captain William Leslie, son of General Leslie. Five officers were wounded and four were captured. The Americans suffered about 35 killed, including Brigadier General Mercer of New Jersey, Colonel Haslet of Delaware, Colonel Porter of Massachusetts, Captain Neil of the New Jersey Artillery, Captain Fleming of Virginia and Captain Shippen of the Marines. No Americans were captured and the number of wounded was not reported."

Over the years i saw many elephant seals with sometimes quite heavy looking injuries. Mostly their necks are suffering the most. Here i guess it was a shark...hope she weill get better soon. San Simeon, CA
Sometimes I wish I would just say No. I'm not sure if thats a No to over-indulgence and sleepless Friday nights, or No to backing up the next day still wounded, sleepless and feeling generally ratshit, to paint a piece. Painted with the homies Maim, Adlib and Roger.
I think the wings are tattered more from flying in and around the plants, but it still looks like war wounds. The butterfly above was attacking the one below. Different pair from the previous battle I posted.
Yesterday's post was indeed an elastic band which I found discarded on the desk. It had rolled itself into that very convenient shape. Do you know what this is? Perhaps the icon will tell you. The texture is by Weisimel and called wooden wounds.

You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you vill continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze out through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them. - Iyania Vanzant
