CARREG GOFFA - FRENCH INVASION OF WALES, 1797

Description

A memorial to the last foreign invasion of this country, erected in 1897. After the outbreak of war between Britain and France in 1793, General Lazare Hoche decided to take the war onto British soil. In 1796 he planned a full scale invasion of Ireland, which would be supported by the United Irishmen. An expedition of 15,000 men was organised and to prevent British reinforcements being sent to Ireland and to create panic on the mainland two smaller expeditions were planned.
