Captain Orel was wounded (ParJcman, Vol. I., p. 227) ; but is not included among the wounded 
in It.A. Muster-roll. 
This Train was consigned to Boston, in view to operations in the 
south (Virginia) ; and General Braddock was instructed to supplement 
its personnel by withdrawing as many artillerymen from the two com¬ 
panies in Newfoundland (Ord’s) and Nova Scotia (Brome’s) as he might 
deem necessary, with due regard to the defences of those commands 1 2 
(as, owing to requirements of East and TVest Indies, Scotland, and 
Ireland, and the critical condition of Europe, not one of the companies 
B.A. at home could be spared). In addition to the field train several 
engineers were embarked. 
On arrival, in February, 1755, with two regiments of foot, each 1000 3 
strong, the train, and engineers, to operate in Virginia and across the 
Alleghanies, General Braddock organised a central column (with 
Centurion w0 are n °t concerned), composed of local levies and Indians, and 
Norwich’ as Captain Ord had brought from Newfoundland only 12 N.-C.O. and 
Seahorse, men of R.A., the General obtained from Commodore KeppeFs squadron 
mgulngaie ^0 seamen, with 30 bright barrelled musquets with bayonets, as addi- 
1 See “ England’s Artillerymen” (Browne), p. 25. The conjoint England and Newfoundland 
detachments with the field train, under Captain Ord, have been tracked in monthly rolls in the 
hope that they might be found to have developed into a company B.A. now surviving; but by 
1758 they had been killed, disabled, taken prisoners at Oswega, or dispersed with the expedition 
to the West Indies.— JR.II.M.
