In the campaign to seize Philadelphia, a crucial phase of British strategy in 1777, General Howe's forces, numbering around 15,000, set sail from New York in late July and landed in Maryland a month later. Washington, commanding approximately 11,000 men, positioned defensively at Chad's Ford, Pennsylvania, along Brandywine Creek. The British attacked on 11 September, employing a flanking movement led by Cornwallis, while Hessian troops provided a diversion. Despite sustaining losses, including about 1,000 casualties, the American forces managed an orderly retreat to Chester, thwarting British attempts at envelopment. British casualties were fewer, numbering less than 600.
