Captain Henry Pringle was one of two volunteer officers from the 27th
Regiment of foot who accompanied the Rangers on the snowshoes scout. He
was to survive the battle and his journals provide a vivid account of
his retreat and capture. In the general confusion of the retreat Captain
Pringle was left behind, he managed to avoid capture but became lost
for six days in the wilderness, before surrendering to the French at
Fort Carillon. Pringle was later to reach the rank of Major-General in
the British army.
Ensign Andrew Ross was a Scottish volunteer from the
42nd Black Watch Regiment. He had been recommended to Rogers in January
10th 1758 for the rank of Ensign in a new company of Rangers, which was
commanded by William Stark. During the march northwards it was reported
that Ross led a flank guard covering the west flank of the main party.
He was to die during the battle on Snowshoes.
