Description: Eugene Leliepvre Signed Scene French And Indian War. THE VIRGINIA MILITIA AND VIRGINIA REGIMENT The colonial militia, made up of all able-bodies men in each count and town, served primarily as a home guard. For this reason, in 1754, when Governor Dinwiddie needed men for a reconnaissance expedition to the Ohio, he raised a regiment of volunteers. Under the young Colonel George Washington, the First Regiment marched to the frontier, and at Fort Necessity on July 4 surrendered to the French. Permitted their freedom, the regiment then refurned to Virginia, and was attached the next year to the British 44th and 48th Regiments of Foot under Major General Edward Braddock. This mixture of provincial recruits and British professionals marched to Fort Duquesne, where on July 9, 1755, they met humiliating defeat. After this disastrous campaign the regiment was reorganized and sent to the western frontier of Virginia until 1762 when it was disbanded.
