Winchester was one of those captured and the next morning on Jan. 23, Native American troops surrounded and killed Winchester's soldiers who were injured during the previous day's battle. And people wonder why the colonists had no love for the Indians...

British Major General Henry Proctor’s career was pretty much ended over his leaving the American prisoners to die at the hands of the indians.
He still served but was put on trial and disgraced and I don’t believe he was ever promoted.

Read about the Gnaddenhutten Massacre, where peaceful Christian Indians at a Moravian mission, mostly women and children, were lined up and their brains bashed out with mallets and see why the Indians had no love for the colonists, either.
