The Battle of Minden was a major engagement during the Seven Years’ War, fought on 1 August 1759. An Anglo-German army under the overall command of Prussian Field Marshal Ferdinand of Brunswick defeated a French army commanded by Marshal of France, Marquis de Contades. Two years previously, the French had launched a successful invasion of Hanover and attempted to impose an unpopular treaty of peace upon the allied nations of Britain, Hanover and Prussia. After a Prussian victory at Rossbach, and under pressure from Frederick the Great and William Pitt, King George II disavowed the treaty. In 1758, the allies launched a counter-offensive against the French and Saxon forces and drove them back across the Rhine.
At the battle of Minden British regiments wore wild roses at the battle that they had plucked from the hedgerows as they advanced to engage the enemy.
Performed by the Royal Hampshire Regiment Band of Corps and Drums.
