| The disastrous raid on Saint Cas, or Saint Cast, took place on 11 Sep 1758.This detailed print graphically depicts the sinking landing craft which were struck by canon fire, causing many soldiers to be drowned. Other grenadiers who had managed to get ashore ran into the sea to escape the onslaught of the French forces sent against them. This failed attempt effectively ended the raids, or descents, on the French coast during the early part of the Seven Years War. |
