August 2, 1745 [O.S.] "Oh Lord be pleased to pity and Spare -- the residue of thy people -- oh Lord -- we are but dust."
--Chaplain Stephen Williams' diary, Louisbourg Journals
More than five times befell the number of New England fatalities during the winter occupation of 1745/46 than were killed during the actual battle. Over a thousand men were buried in shallow unmarked graves at Rochefort Point, falling victim to "the flux" (dysentry).
