The Battle of Hampton was a successful British attack against Hampton, Virginia, in the War of 1812, following their defeat at the Battle of Craney Island. 2,000 Army regulars and Royal Marines, under Stapleton Crutchfeld, defeated 450 Virginia militia and occupied Hampton for one day, capturing guns, ammunition, wagons, horses, livestock and other foodstuffs. The Independent Companies of Foreigners, a unit recruited from French prisoners of war, sacked Hampton. Crutchfeld's forces suffered 5 killed, 33 wounded and 10 missing.
