  • n the American Revolution, Lafayette served in the Continental Army under George Washington.
  • In 1775, Lafayette took part in his unit's annual training in Metz, where he met Charles-François, comte de Broglie, the Army of the East's commander and a superior. When the Duke of Gloucester, King George III's brother and colonial policy critic, travelled through the region, he was invited to dinner with de Broglie and his men.[4] Lafayette wrote in his memoirs that at this dinner when he ...first learned of that quarrel, my heart was enlisted and I thought only of joining the colors..
