The Army Extracts section of the SF booklet lists the 989 French soldiers who were reported as dying in U.S. theater of operations during the American Revolution (the 990 circled below is in error). About 25% of these died during in the 1778-79 operations (under D'Estaing) and about 75% died during the 1780-83 operations (under Rochambeau).
IAC, the French were here to get revenge for their prior loss to the English in the Seven Yeats War...
