'Churchill Before Maestricht', 24 June 1673, (c1880). The Siege of Maastricht (11-30 June 1673) ended when Jacques de Fariaux, governor of the Dutch garrison, surrendered to an army under the command of Louis XIV during the Franco-Dutch War (1672-1678). Captain John Churchill (the future Duke of Marlborough), withdrew after suffering the loss of 300 men on 24 June, later planting a flag on the outwork. From British Battles on Land and Sea, Vol. I, by James Grant. [Cassell Petter & Galpin, London, Paris & New York, c1880]
