"An Account of the Campaign in the West Indies, in the Year 1794" by Cooper Willyams is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The narrative recounts the military expedition led by Lieutenant General Sir Charles Grey and Vice Admiral Sir John Jervis to capture several French-held islands in the Caribbean. The work discusses battles, planning, and experiences encountered during the campaign, emphasizing the complexity and challenges of military operations in that era. The opening of the account sets the stage for the expedition as it describes the formation and preparation of the British fleet, including the voyage from England to the Caribbean. Willyams, who was onboard the flagship Boyne, details the significant events during the journey, such as managing illness among officers, navigating storms, and landing in Barbados. He also hints at the subsequent military objectives, including the complicated logistics of launching an offensive against the fortifications on the islands. The author lays the groundwork for the ensuing conflict while providing personal reflections and observations, drawing readers into the historical context of the campaign.
