  Battle of Jemappes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Jemappes (November 6, 1792) took place near the town of Jemappes in Hainaut, Belgium, near Mons.
Charles François Dumouriez, in command of the French Revolutionary Army, defeated the greatly outnumbered Austrian army under the command of Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen and of François Sebastien Charles Joseph de Croix, Count of Clerfayt.
Dumouriez, intent on invading the Netherlands, advanced late in the season and surprised the Austrians with greatly superior forces.

 Battle of Neerwinden (1793) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Neerwinden (18 March 1793) took place near the village of Neerwinden in present-day Belgium between the Austrians under Prince Josias of Coburg and the French under General Dumouriez.
The battle marked the end of Dumouriez's attempt to overrun the Low Countries and the beginning of the Allies’ invasion of France.
In these conditions an attempt to win a second Jemappes with numerical odds of 11 to 10 instead of 2 to 1 in favour of the attack was foredoomed to disaster, and the repulse of the French Revolutionary Army was the signal for its almost complete dissolution.

 Battle Honours of the Canadian Army - Grodzinski
Battle honours were first authorized to be borne on infantry colours on 14 April 1784.
Battle honours were administered by the Militia Headquarters in Ottawa, and following a war or campaign, regiments formed committees to prepare and submit a list of honours (selected from a larger list prepared by Militia Headquarters) to Militia Headquarters for approval.
The criteria for Battle Honours for the operations in Korea (1950-1953), were published on 31 March 1958, and were unique in that qualifying units could only emblazon a maximum of two honours and make only one claim for a particular period (either the battle or the engagement but not both).

Clerfayt occupied Jemappes and Cuesmes, Beaulieu camped above Berthaimont, Tyrolean jagers defended the Flenu woods, and a number of cavalry were found in reserve in the space that separated Jemappes from Cuesmes, ready to set upon any French shaken from the cannon of the redoubts.
Beumonville, to our right, was told to capture the redoubts of Cuesmes; Ferrand, to our left, was to proceed to Jemappes via Quaregnon, while Duke Chartres, in the center, approached the front of Jemappes and forced a gap between that town and Cuesmes.
The Austrians obstinately resisted this furious assault until the appearance, to their rear, of the columns of Ferrand and Thouvenot as they were seizing Jemappes.

Our first battle is a heavy, unheard of heavy, defeat, and against the English - the English we laughed at.
The first battle fought by the British Army against the Germans came about simply because pre-war plans had placed the British Expeditionary Force in the way of the German advance towards Paris.
The forward post of the Scots Fusiliers north of the canal was withdrawn, and gradually the Germans advanced to within 200 yards of the bridge at Lock 2, where they were brought to a standstill by the accuracy of the British fire.

The battle of Apsern-Essling which followed was a sharp reverse for Napoleon's green French troops, but another few weeks of unprecedented preparation allowed them to push back the Austrians at the sprawling battle of Wagram.
The battle itself was tactically unimaginative, with the French battering themselves against the Russian defenses and the Russians obligingly taking the punishment without much attempt to maneuver for position.

The Battle of Inkermann, a battle of the Crimean War, was fought on November 5, 1854 and resulted in a British and French victory under General Bosquet against the Russian forces under General Menshikov.
The battle was eventually won by a counter-offensive by the French soldiers under General Bosquet.
The Russian plan for the battle of November 5 was most excellent in conception; and, as far as mere orders can go, nothing seemed wanting to insure success, and drive the English partly over the steep borders of the plateau into the open arms of Gortschakoff, partly into the sea, and the rest to Kamiesch.
