also known as the Battle of Iron Hill,[3]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. It was the only significant military
action during the war on the soil of Delaware (though there were also naval engagements off
the state's coast), and it took place about a week before the major Battle of Brandywine.
Reportedly, the battle that saw the first flying of the U.S. flag.[4]
After landing in Maryland on August 25 as part of a campaign to capture Philadelphia, the seat
of the Continental Congress, British and German forces under the overall command of
General William Howe began to move north. Their advance was monitored by a light
infantry corps of Continental Army and militia forces that had based itself at Cooch's Bridge,
near Newark, Delaware. 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.

1900 16 September 1961) captained the England cricket team between 1926 and 1931.
Representing the Cambridge cricket team in 1920, he once scored centuries against Oxford and in
the Gentlemen v Players match within the space of a week. Chapman made his Test debut in 1924,
although he had yet to play County Cricket. A left-handed batsman, he went on to play 26 Test
matches for England. After he took over from Arthur Carr as captain in 1926, England defeated
Australia for the first time since 1912. He achieved victory in his first nine matches in charge but
lost two and drew six of his remaining games. An amateur cricketer, Chapman played first-class
cricket for Kent, eventually as captain. He had a respectable batting record, could score runs
quickly, and was popular with spectators. Contemporaries rated him highly as a fielder. Although
opinions were divided on his tactical ability as a captain, he was seen as an inspirational leader.
Chapman's success gave him access to fashionable society for a time, but in the 1930s, his health
and cricketing form declined. For the rest of his life, he suffered from alcoholism. Ewrerewrewrew
