		In the First Battle of the Stronghold, January 17, 1873, the 50 or so Modoc warriors defeated an Army force of over 300 men, killing 35 and wounding several others, while suffering no casualties.
		During the Second Battle of the Stronghold, April 15 - 17, the reinforced Army of over six hundred men captured the Modoc spring and cut of their route to Tule Lake, forcing the Modoc to flee when their water supplies ran out.

		The First Battle of Gaza was a World War I battle on the southern border of Palestine.
		The battle was the first predominantly infantry assault of the campaign and was a costly fiasco for the British command who handed victory to the Turks.
		Both Dobell and his superior, General Murray, portrayed the battle as a success in their reports to the British War Office and excused the withdrawal by claiming the approaching Turkish reinforcements were a threat and that the horses of the mounted troops had not been watered all day.

		"When I first stood there, one bright day before sundown," wrote John Muir, "the lake was fairly blooming in purple light, and was so responsive to the sky in both calmness and color it seemed itself a sky." [1] The waters of the lake no longer brush the shore at Gillem's Camp.
		Immediately after occupying the Stronghold on April 17, the howitzers were placed in it so that their fire, if needed, could repulse the Modocs should they attack from their new positions from the south.
		As the casualties poured in, first from the attack on the peace commissioners, then the second battle of the Stronghold, and finally from the Thomas patrol, the doctors and the hospital steward found themselves busy indeed.

	The Battle of Megiddo
		Furthermore, this was Tuthmosis III first major battle in which he was in overall command and the army had not fought a major engagement for some 20 years, so there was perhaps not the confidence among the troops that later triumphant language might imply.
		The implication is that the army was ordered to parade past the pharaoh, resplendent in their full uniform with armor glittering, while horse plumes and flags fluttering in the breeze and standards were carried aloft amidst the sounding of war trumpets, the beating of drums and the thunderous shouts of acclaim.
		While the booty from this battle was vast, the pharaoh seems to have been most proud of the capture of 2,041 horses that were taken and used to swell the breeding stock in Egypt.
