“ The Suffolk was attached to Vice-Admiral Byron’s squadron in the conflict with d’Estaing, off Grenada, July 6, 1779, and on that occasion had 7 men slain and 25 wounded. The Conqueror’s loss in the battles between Rodney and de Guichen, off Martinique, in April and May 1780 [2] , amounted to 87 killed and wounded ”

“ He was then appointed to the Alcmene, of 32 guns, and in that frigate assisted at the capture and destruction of the Danish line of defence before Copenhagen, on the memorable 2d April [4] . The Alcmene on that glorious occasion had 5 men killed and 14 wounded. Captain Sutton subsequently removed into the Amazon, 38, as successor to the gallant Riou, who had fallen in the battle. ”
