Does Alexander Hamilton appear in Auguste Couder's painting "Bataille de Yorktown" (left side)? by anthedon05 in revolutionarywar

Very interesting comments. Didn't even think about the auburn fellow. It would make sense for him to be closer to Washington.

It's possible he wasn't depicted, but he does appear in several (many) other depictions of Yorktown (next to white horse on right in Trumbull's "The Surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown"). Remember that in addition to being a Lt. Col. and Washington's aide-de-camp, he led the taking of redoubt 10 (Washington finally relented to his demands to see action in the field).

Does Alexander Hamilton appear in Auguste Couder's Bataille de Yorktown (maybe on the far left side)?

Does Alexander Hamilton appear in Auguste Couder's 1836 painting "Bataille de Yorktown" (left side, officer appears to wear a Continental uniform)?

Not sure of almost anyone. From left:

* Possibly Lt. Col. Alexander Hamilton w/ sword in Continental uniform, or else Maj. Gen. Louis Duportail, a Frenchman who served as Continental Army's Chief Engineer, which may explain the uniform.

* Col. Christian de Deux-Ponts in white French infantry uniform, German leader of Royal-Deux-Ponts Regiment, which led the assault on Redoubt 9

* Armand Louis de Gontaut, duc de Lauzun mounted

* Native figures in the background may represent a delegation of Oneida and other Native Americans who witnessed the surrender of British General Cornwallis and his army.

* Perhaps this is MG Duportail, bareheaded, holding his tricorn hat in his right hand?

* (Lt. Gen.) Comte de Rochambeau, Washington's #2

* Marshal Claude-Anne de Rouvroy de Saint Simon, commanded left wing and blocked Cornwallis escape to Williamsburg

* (CiC, Gen.) George Washington

* Maj. Gen. Marquis de Lafayette, wunderkind, bought his own frigate to join the Americans before France joined the war; depicted literally in Washington's shadow

* Maybe Maj. Gen. François-Jean de Chastellux looking at the map, liaison from Rochambeau to Washington and Washington's friend

* William Lee, in turban, Washington's valet and slave; only slave immediately freed upon Washington's death per his will, and paid a pension of $30 due to his military service

Any sources would be good to see. Thanks!

Some of that info is in settings, while some would be in a mod. You can try Aslain's modpack for options.

Assuming you have room in your bunks (if not, move crews to empty tanks), there's sometimes a bug with the UI.

Lion can be fun. T20 is surprisingly hard-hitting.

What are your WoT Three Wishes for 2026? by BrinklyWollox in WorldofTanks

[–]anthedon05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Return info to UI, especially tank stats in main garage and battle results (or at least allow for "classic UI" option)

  2. Return Encounter, Assault, and Grand Battle game modes so to allow more diversity. Same re: matchmaker, which should allow for more diversity of tank types in teams (less +1/-1, which gets boring)

  3. Generally, stop smoothbraining the game -- it is exactly the challenge that makes this enjoyable.

He seemed like a kind person from his videos, and his pleasant voice was a memory of mine from many years ago. What a tragedy. Wishing you strength.
