From the window I could see the rockets' red glare and hear the bombs bursting in air, and I was thinking about the Battle of Rhode Island where Primus Babcock and Caesar Babcock would have heard the cannon bursts and tried their best to hold off the Hessians that Britain had hired to help take the key Rhode Island ports.
I decided right then I should review all my Revolutionary War fighter profiles and add the 1776 sticker to those who participated now that I have grasped the "rocket science" sticker coding, which I have to admit baffled me for the longest time.
Of course, our Family Name Study had Babcock/Badcock fighting on both sides and there's a sticker for each. If anyone wants to join me in adding the stickers to participants who lack them here are the codes:
{{1776 |startdate= |enddate= |unit= |rank= }} means
fought for the US Colonies (you can leave blank the stuff after the "equals sign" if you don't know. Someone else can figure it out)
In Contrast....
{{United Empire Loyalist|status=}} means
fought for the Crown ("status" signifies either proven as UEL or unproven, just leave it blank if you don't know).
Turns out adding stickers is a lot of fun.
