Clue#4

Job

I am a British general, and I won more battles than I lost.  I was second in command when we won at Brooklyn.  I was first in command when we won at Brandywine, Monmouth, and Charleston.  The battles that I was beaten at were Kings Mountain, Camden, and Cowpens.

Clue#5

A famous battle that I lost was at Yorktown, Virginia against America which was led by General Washington.  This was the last major battle of the Revolution.  During the offical ceremony marking my surrender,our military band played a popular tune called "The World Turned Upside Down."

If buttercups buzzed after the bee,
If boats were on land, churches on sea  . .  .
If summer were spring and the other way round,
Then all the world would be upside down.
