sep 3, 1777 - Battle of Cooch's Bridge

Description:

The Battle of Cooch's Bridge, also known as the Battle of Iron Hill,[5] was a battle fought on September 3, 1777, between the Continental Army and American militia and primarily German soldiers serving alongside the British Army during the American Revolutionary War. On September 3, German troops leading the British advance were met by musket fire from the U.S. light infantry in the woods on either side of the road leading toward Cooch's Bridge. Calling up reinforcements, they flushed the Americans out and drove them across the bridge. Some traditions claim this as the first battle which saw the U.S. flag.
