At noon on October 19, two redoubts southeast of Yorktown were occupied
by allied troops—one by an American unit and the other by a
French detachment. At 2 p. m., the British Army, clad in a new issue of
uniforms and led by Brigadier
General O'Hara (Cornwallis was ill),
marched out from Yorktown along the York-Hampton Road to the tune of an
old British march titled "The World Turned Upside Down."
In the vicinity of the present national cemetery, O'Hara
reached the
head of the allied column. It appears that he sought first the Count de
Rochambeau, but was referred to Washington. Washington, in turn, sent
him to Major General Lincoln, who accepted his sword—the
token of defeat and surrender—and then returned it. Following
this, the British Army marched down Surrender Road between columns of
allied troops, Americans on the British left (east) and French on the
British right (west), to Surrender Field where the formal surrender was
effected.
In October 1780, O'Hara was appointed brigadier general and given
command of the Brigade of Guards. O'Hara took the Brigade to serve with
his friend Cornwallis in the Southern Campaign in 1780. At Guilford
Courthouse, O'Hara was severely wounded as the Guards fought to a
stalemate with General Nathanial Greene's Continentals ... O'Hara
concurred with Cornwallis' decision to invade Virginia, but the result
was surrender at Yorktown. Cornwallis directed O'Hara, his second in
command, to represent the British at the surrender ceremonies. O'Hara
later joined Washington and other officers at dinner.
... General Charles
O'Hara was sent by General Washington to present
the sword. Major General Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810) was deputized to
receive the sword from General O’Hara since Washington
refused to receive it from a minor general. This meant revenge for
General Lincoln, for the previous year he surrendered at Charleston to
an inferior officer ...
The Yorktown
Battlefield is
maintained by the National Park Service as a Colonial National
Historical Park ... On October 19th, Cornwallis’ army marched
onto Surrender Field and laid down its arms. However, missing from the
surrender formalities was the British Commander, Lord Cornwallis, who
claimed he was indisposed. Instead, his deputy, General O'Hara
attempted to surrender his sword to General Rochambeau. However,
Rochambeau, recognizing a possible attempt to not recognize the
American forces in the victory, refused to accept the sword and
indicated that it should be given to General Washington. However,
Washington, unwilling to accept the sword from a deputy, also refused
the sword and indicated that it should be surrendered to his deputy,
General Lincoln. Lincoln accepted the surrender sword.
