Battle of Great Bridge

 

The 122nd Annual Commemoration of the Battle of Great Bridge was held at the Chesapeake City Hall, Chesapeake, Virginia on Saturday, December 3, 2022 due to weather.  The event is sponsored by the Great Bridge Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution and the Norfolk Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution.

The American Revolution involved a diverse group of participants on both sides.  Great Bridge involved free and enslaved Africans fighting alongside and against both Patriots and royal British forces, and at least one member of the Nansemond Indian Nation serving the Patriot cause.

In attendance, pictured l to r, Bruce Laubach, President Williamsburg Chapter SAR, Bruce Meyer, President, Virginia Society SAR, and Ron Adolphi, Williamsburg Chapter SAR.
