Convention Army : ウィキペディア英語版 | Convention Army
The Convention Army (1777–1783) was an army of British and allied troops captured after the Battles of Saratoga in the American Revolutionary War. ==Convention of Saratoga== On 17th October 1777, British General John Burgoyne surrendered his army according to terms negotiated with American General Horatio Gates following the 7th October Battle of Bemis Heights. The terms were titled the ''Convention of Saratoga'', and specified that the troops would be sent back to Europe after giving a parole that they would not fight again in the conflict.〔Morrissey (2000), p. 87〕 Baroness Frederika Riedesel, wife of General Riedesel, just emerged from her shelter in the cellar of the Marshall House, attended the surrender ceremony which she vividly describes in her ''Journal'': "On the 17th of October the capitulation was consummated. The generals waited upon the American general-in-chief, Gates, and the troops laid down their arms, and surrendered themselves prisoners of war".
