This ad showed up on my dash, but it was a video and I could only present it to you by taking a couple of screenshots of it. I think you'll be able to, ah... to tell why I'm tagging you in this, though. xD

Death of General James Wolfe

The Death of General Wolfe by Edward Penny (1714-1791). Source: ArtUK website

On this day in 1759, General James Wolfe was killed at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham at the very moment of British victory. The battle was the climax of the Seven Years War in North America and comprised the final defence by France of its most populous colony, that of Quebec. The town was well defended atop the precipitate Heights of Abraham, but the precociously brilliant Wolfe (he was 32), the commander of the attacking British forces, had a detachment of soldiers scale the Heights and attack the French in the flank, even as they were drawn up to face the main British army approaching them across the Plains. The sneak attack demoralised the French troops, who eventually broke and fled. Wolfe however received his third and final wound even as the enemy scattered. The general lived long enough to ask if the battle was won. When assured it was, he said ‘I die contented’ and promptly expired. The victory for which Wolfe became famous led to the conquest of Canada by Britain and the end of the French empire in North America.
