I suggest you do an advanced web search using "George Washington" and "French and Indian War." This should give you the information you need, probably from a more reliable source than this website.

The most significant battle was the battle of Duquesne where 1400 English under General Braddock marched on Fort Duquesne (located on contemporary territory of Pittsburgh, PA) in a poorly planned mission. Smaller but better organized French force slaughtered the English, leaving Washington, Braddock's aide-de-camp, to straggle home with 500 survivors. This happened in 1755 and was the worst defeat suffered by the English in French and Indian War.

Also, in the very beginning of the war, Washington had another encounter at Fort Duquesne, when he led a militia force of 150 people with some Indian allies into attacking French work party, but surrendered after being surrounded by French forces. French released him and sent him back to Virginia.
