This the fife march called General Braddock's. It shares the same melodic material as The Blockhouse Dutchman http://thesession.org/tunes/display/7532
I have never found another Braddock's march or this tune elsewhere. For excellent info about Braddock see....

For another great site detailing his actual march see:

Interesting (or not) how the tune comes from the very region he marched through, I am personally familiar with much of the area in the websites and have ancestors that were probably from some of the indian tribes involved in the battle.
