This product features Marshal Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vireur, Comte de Rochambeau, a French nobleman and commander of a 5,500 man French Expeditionary Force sent to assist the American Continental Army in their fight for independence from Great Britain.

In July of 1780, Rochambeau arrived in North America with his small force and encamped in the vicinity of Providence, Rhode Island. After a year of inactivity, the French joined forces with Washington’s army and together they marched to lay siege to the British at Yorktown, Virginia.

The siege ended as a decisive victory for the allies on October 19, 1781, with the surrender and capture of Cornwallis’ army. This prompted the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict, making it the last major land battle of the American War for Independence.
