THE FRENCH-INDIAN WARS

 

Sir Peter Halkett

Colonel Sir Peter Halket fought in the French and Indian War in the British 'Colonies' in the U.S. this was known as the "French and Indian War".  In the U.K, it was the "Seven Years War" . Sir Peter was shot and killed during the Battle of Duquesne (also known as Braddock's Defeat) on July 9, 1755, near what is now called Pittsburgh, PA.  His son, Lt. James Halket, saw his father get shot and ran to his aid, when he was also shot and died, alongside his father.  Also of interest, there was a young Lt. Col. on Sir Peter's staff who is somewhat familiar to us..... his name was George Washington.  (Needless to say, Lt. Col. Washington survived the battle). Two years after "Braddock's Defeat", another of Sir Peter's sons, Major Francis Halket went with a detachment to provide proper burials for their fallen countrymen. A now-friendly Indian told of two British officers being felled at the foot of an unusual looking tree and was able to locate the tree. It was there that Major Francis Halket was able to identify the remains of his father and brother, and was able to give them a proper Scottish burial with Tartan and Pipes.
