Was Voltaire actually present at the British Raid on Lorient in 1746, which was attended by David Hume?

Question

Voltaire wrote a satirical account of the raid at which Hume himself was personally in attendance with General St Clair. However, it is difficult to find out if Voltaire was actually an eyewitness also, or if his accounts were second hand.

Some resources:

Raid on Lorient (Wikivisually)

Neither source mentions if Francois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire) was present at the engagement, and it is difficult to find any mention of it in Voltaire's biographies available on line.
