Battle of Sainte-Foy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Battle of Sainte-Foy, sometimes called the Battle of Quebec (1760), was fought April 28, 1760 in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada during the Seven Years' War (called the French and Indian War in the United States). The British army lost over one thousand, killed and wounded (three-quarters of the officers of the Fraser Highlanders were killed or wounded) and the French almost nine hundred, making the Battle of Sainte-Foy one of the bloodiest battles on Canadian soil.
