The Battle of Dunbar

The Battle of Dunbar was in 1650 and was between Scottish and English.  The leader of the English was Oliver Cromwell.  And the Scottish leader was David Leslie.

Only 20 English died but maybe 2000 Scottish soliders died.  A lot of prisoners were held at Durham Cathedral.

  1. That photo looks very gruesome, it must have been very difficult for the soldiers.
