History of the GERMANTOWN 1777 Battle Streamer
Following their triumph at Brandywine, British forces led by Howe strategically operated near Philadelphia for two weeks, encountering minimal resistance as they entered the city on 26 September 1777. Howe's establishment of a sizable encampment in Germantown, comprising around 9,000 soldiers, prompted Washington's swift response with a coordinated attack planned for the night of 3 - 4 October. Despite initial success by columns led by Greene and Divan, unforeseen challenges such as dense morning fog and ammunition shortages led to an American retreat, albeit unexploited by Howe. Casualties were significant on both sides, with approximately 673 Americans killed or wounded and 400 captured, while British losses totaled around 533.
