Revolutionary War question
What did the British do with their dead? Are there any old British cemeteries from the battles?

Back then all the bodies from a battle were gathered and usually buried in one common grave. The winning side did the burying because the losing side had retreated and been driven off.
The biggest revolutionary war cemetary is in Salem, New York
