		Saunders had never commanded a fleet in a major action before, but on 9 Jan. 1759, recommended by Anson, he was appointed commander of the fleet bound for the St Lawrence.
		Saunders objected and Wolfe agreed to delete the criticism from his report to Pitt, although he plainly told the admiral that he still believed the facts were as originally stated.
		Saunders spent only a single summer in Canada, besides the one in Newfoundland, but it was the high point of his career.

	Trial and execution of Admiral John Byng in 1757
		The Admiral at once began preparations to return to Minorca; but, while he was still engaged in these, on July 3rd, the Antelope, 50, came in with Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Hawke, Rear-Admiral Charles Saunders, and the order for the supersession of the Commander-in-Chief and Rear Admiral West.
		A little before twelve o'clock, the Admiral retired to his inner cabin for about three minutes, after which the doors of the outer cabin were thrown open, and the Admiral walked from his after cabin with a dignified pace and unmoved countenance.
		It may have taught the admirals who followed the unfortunate Byng, that they must pay more attention to victory than to red tape, and that not even the most honest devotion to conventional methods is so great a merit in a naval officer as success against the enemies of his country.

	Battle of the Plains of Abraham
		The British fleet under Admiral Charles Saunders had sailed from Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island, which they had captured in 1758.
		Montcalm could have refused to meet them on the field (as his advisers suggested), and his decision to leave the fortified town and engage the British on the battlefield was a mistake; his fear was that of British entrenchment and a classic European-style siege of the fortified city.
		The remains of Montcalm were recently transferred from the Ursuline chapel to the military cemetery at the Hopital-General by the St. Charles River, in a mausoleum, to rest by the remains of the wounded who died at that hospital during the 1759 and 1760 battles at Quebec.

	The Trial and Execution of Admiral the Honourable John Byng, Part II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Political theater was nothing new in the 18th century, and The Sham Fight: Or Political Humbug heaped criticism upon Byng, and by extension, the ministry, for corruption, patronage, family influence, and aristocratic degeneracy.
		Byng’s own flag captain, Captain Gardiner, testified that he advised the admiral to bear upon the enemy, but Byng had objected because of what had happened to Admiral Matthews in a similar in situation in the Mediterranean during the last war ("Trial" 18).
		The king refused to exercise his prerogative of pardon, and Admiral the Honorable John Byng died by firing squad at noon on the quarterdeck of Monarch on 14 March 1757, a victim both of political animosity and his own errors of cautious judgment.

	Ingornachoix.ca - Sir Charles Saunders
		But with Minorca, the only British base in the Mediterranean irretrievably lost by the default of Admiral John Byng, the task of regaining maritime control in those waters was an impossible one, and Hawke returned to England, leaving Saunders there as commander-in-chief.
		With Anson firmly in control of the navy as First Lord of the Admiralty, Saunders star remained in the ascendant and his great chance came when in 1759, as a vice admiral, he was selected as naval commander-in-chief of the expedition designed to capture Quebec, and later the whole of Canada, from the French.
		In his subsequent career Saunders spent three years as commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean, though as the navel power of France had by then been shattered in those waters, there was little there to occupy him.

		In 1770 commodore Palliser was appointed comptroller of the navy, and elected an elder brother of the Trinity House.

	The Seven Years War
		Brigadier General Charles Townshend, commanding 2nd Brigade, “confided to his wife his opinion that Wolfe’s tactics were no better than his health, which was bad.” Wolfe’s ‘brilliant’ plan to ascend l’Anse au Foulon could have easily ended in disaster as well.
		The Canadian population was behind the colonial government, as nearly “15,000 combatants had gathered around their flags to defend Quebec.” A campaign could have been conducted immediately after the battle in 1759 to oust the British from Quebec when they were at their weakest.
		Stacey wrote that “in the event of the French post [at Foulon] being alert and firing, the whole force would have re-embarked and a week later the fleet would have sailed for England.” S guin wrote that the fixed date for the retreat was 20 September.

		Even as late as the end of the first world war Admiral Beatty was wearing a jacket with the wrong number of buttons.

	Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
		Wolfe had undoubtedly shown himself throughout the siege to be an unusually efficient and active officer, and his merits were forcibly brought to the attention of the British government and people by the prompt publication of Amherst’s journal and other accounts.
		The naval commander was Vice-Admiral Charles Saunders, an able, self-effacing officer, whose second-in-command was Rear-Admiral Philip Durell (for whom Wolfe seems to have acquired a dislike at Louisbourg), the third naval officer being Rear-Admiral Charles* Holmes.
		No letters that passed between them have survived, and it seems uncertain whether there was a formal engagement; but the reference to the lady in Wolfe’s will, and one of her own letters after his death, suggest that they intended to marry.

		Furthermore the only two spots where a feint to the north could be made were near the point of Chatelaillon; and as a result of sounding by Admiral Brodrick it had been found that the transports could not come nearer to the shore than one and a half miles.
		There is no evidence at all that the brigadiers had any tendency to hang together in opposition to Wolfe, until, when success or failure was trembling in the balance, they were practically driven to do so by Wolfe's secretive policy and his determination to stand upon his military rank and authority.
		It was, in short, a mere gamble on the possibility of the French-Canadian militia breaking from their trenches before the threat of an attack; instead they stayed and shot the English down; a fortunate storm alone enabled the landing parties to retire with safety.
