In the sentence,

He reached the rank of Lieutenant in 1755, and that same year took part in the conquest of Quebec.

something's wrong -- Quebec was taken in 1759. Anyone know when Jervis became a Lieutenant -- is this a misprint for 1759?

One of the sources linked at the bottom says that he was promoted in 1755. I'll edit the article. =) 152.23.196.162 05:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
