With faithful service\n in the \n Scots Greys during the War of Austrian\n Succession, he was promoted rapidly, reaching the rank of\n lieutenant-colonel in December, 1750 (he had been given that\n rank in the Army in December, 1745). In Februaryruary, 1757, Forbes\n was given the colonelcy of the \n 17th Foot and shortly thereafter departed\n for \n North America, where he served the Earl\n of Loudoun as adjutant general.","Forbes was made a brigadier by \n William Pitt in December, 1757, with the\n responsibility of directing a campaign in 1758 the objective\n of which was the capture of \n Fort Duquesne and the clearing of the\n French from the \n Ohio River Valley. He proceeded to \n Philadelphia in April, 1758, to assume\n direct command of operations and planning for the expedition.\n After months of building a new road through the wilderness and\n rugged terrain of western \n Pennsylvania, of building forts along the\n way to hold territory and protect his army and its supply\n posts, \n Fort Duquesne was finally taken on\n November 25th, after the French had evacuated and blown it up.\n General Forbes was a very sick man during the campaign and he\n died in \n Philadelphia on March 11, 1759, and was\n buried there in the chancel of \n Christ Church."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eHeadquarters Papers of Brigadier-General John Forbes Relating to the Expedition\n against Fort Duquesne in 1758, 1729-1759, Accession #10034, Special Collections, University of\n Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Headquarters Papers of Brigadier-General John Forbes Relating to the Expedition\n against Fort Duquesne in 1758, 1729-1759, Accession #10034, Special Collections, University of\n Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eForbes' commission as surgeon to the \n Royal Regiment of North British\n Dragoons (Scots Greys).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eForbes' commission as cornet in the \n Royal Regiment of North British\n Dragoons (Scots Greys).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eForbes' commission as lieutenant in the \n Royal Regiment of North British\n Dragoons ( \n Scots Greys).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eForbes' commission as captain in the \n Royal Regiment of North British\n Dragoons (Scots Greys).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eForbes' commission as deputy quartermaster general\n with the rank of lieutenant-colonel in the army.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eForbes' commission as major in the \n Royal Regiment of North British\n Dragoons (Scots Greys).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eForbes' commission as lieutenant-colonel of the \n Royal Regiment of North British\n Dragoons (Scots Greys).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAbout one-half of the volume is devoted to\n correspondence concerning the Expedition against \n Fort Duquesne under the command of\n Major General \n Edward Braddock.
