The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Dungans Hill - The Battle

From a Parliamentarian point of view, victory in this battle was presented to them by the incompetence of the Irish commander. Preston was a veteran of the Thirty Years War where he had been a commander of the Spanish garrison at Leuven, but had no experience of open warfare or handling cavalry (Jones by contrast had been a cavalry officer in the English Civil War). As a result, he tried to move his cavalry along a narrow covered lane (site of the present day main road), where they trapped and subjected to enemy fire without being able to respond. The demoralised Irish cavalr ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Drumclog - The Battle

Following the assassination of Archbishop James Sharp, and the Declaration of Rutherglen, the Covenanters were on the verge of open rebellion. A large conventicle was planned to take place at Loudoun Hill, on the boundary of Ayrshire and Lanarkshire, in defiance of government persecution of the Covenanters. On the morning of Sunday 1st June, the Rev. Thomas Douglas allegedly broke off his sermon with the words "Ye have got the theory, now for the practice", when it was reported that the dragoons of Claverhouse were heading to the area ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Montaperti - The Battle

The two armies met at the hill of Montaperti, outside Siena, on the morning of September 4th. The battle raged all day, but despite their superior numbers, the Florentines were unable to make headway into the determined Sienese. As evening approached and the Florentines exhausted themselves on their opponent's defensive lines, the Sienese forces launched their counterattack, lead by the Count of Arras. Though seemingly reckless, the Sienese were confident in counterattacking with such a significant numerical disadvantage because their ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Naseby - The Battle

On June 13, the Royalists, who were now making for Newark so as to receive reinforcements, were at Market Harborough. Fairfax was eager to engage them, and held a Council of War, during which Oliver Cromwell, recently re-appointed Lieutenant General, arrived with some cavalry reinforcements. The New Model Army moved in pursuit, and late in the day Henry Ireton attacked a Royalist outpost at Naseby, six m ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - First Battle of the Stronghold - The Battle

On the morning of January 17, the entire battlefield was covered with a thick fog bank. In the west Major Green formed a skirmish line, with the 21st Infantry battalion and California volunteers on the left flank, next to the lake, and the Oregon militia on the right flank. A detachment of the 21st Infantry and 1st Cavalry, F Troop, were held in reserve to defend the howitzers. In the east, Bernard's force formed up with the Klamath Scouts and B Troop on the ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - First Battle of Gaza - The Battle

For reasons that remain unclear, General Dallas delayed the attack. Uncertainty about the Turkish strength made him hesitate and he left his headquarters to go forward and view the battlefield. Dallas and his staff were absent from the 53rd Division's headquarters for two hours or more, during which time Chetwode was desperately trying to contact him with orders to commence the attack immediately. Sightings of raised dust in the distance suggested to Dallas that Turkish reinforcements were approaching, making him even more nervous ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of the Winwaed - The Battle

Penda, after gathering allies from East Anglia and Wales, marched with a force "thirty legions strong". Oswiu, who was Oswald's brother but had only succeeded him in Bernicia, the northern part of Northumbria, was besieged by them at a place called Iudeu (identified with Stirling) in the north of his kingdom by Penda. Apparently Oswiu was desperate enough to offer a great deal of treasure to Penda in exchange for peace. Although the sources are unclear, it is likely that some sort of agreement was reached at Iudeu: although Bede says that Os ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Tirad Pass - The Battle

At about 0630 on the morning of December 2, the Americans advanced up the trail and were met with a steady volley of fire, leading to several U.S. casualties. The Americans abandoned the idea of a frontal assault, instead sending elements of their force to outflank the determined defenders. Texan sharpshooters stationed themselves on a hill overlooking the trenches, and proceeded to whittle down the Philippine rearguard with measured volleys. With the help of local villager Januario Galut, another group of Americans were led up a trail by wh ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Grass Fight - The Battle

On November 26, 1835, Erastus 'Deaf' Smith observed a Mexican pack train of about 150 Mexican soldiers five miles from San Antonio. The Texans assumed this pack train carried supplies for Cos, who was in the Alamo. Texan commander Edward Burleson sent James Bowie and about forty calvarymen to engage the pack train. For support, Burleson sent along William Jack with about one hundred infantry. Bowie and his party caught up with the Mexican column about a mile from San Antonio. Rumors had spread among the Texans that the pack train was ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Operation Bagration - The Battle

The attack began on the morning of June 22, 1944, three years to the day after the German attack on the Soviet Union. However, OKW had expected an attack on Army Group South, which had already been severely weakened and driven from most of Ukraine, and therefore received armaments diverted from Army Group Centre just prior to the attack. Operation Bagration pitted over 1,700,000 Soviet soldiers in 200 divisions with 6,000 tanks and massed artillery against the 34 German divisions of Army Group Centre. The defeat of this force resulted in the ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Otterburn - The Battle

The Scots divided their forces with the main force and their baggage train heading towards Carlisle while a raiding party including Earl Douglas ravaged the countryside around Durham and Newcastle. Henry Percy sent his two sons Henry "Hotspur" Percy and Ralph to engage while he stayed at Alnwick to cut off the marauders retreat. Froissart says that the first fighting included the Earl Douglas and Henry Percy in hand to hand combat in which Percy's pennon was captured. Douglas then moved off destroying the castle at Ponteland and besie ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Second Battle of Fort Fisher - The Battle

Alfred Terry had previously commanded troops during the Siege of Charleston Harbor and understood the importance of coordinating with the Union Navy. He and Admiral Porter made well laid out plans for the joint attack. Terry would send one division of USCT under Charles J. Paine to hold off Hoke's division on the peninsula. Terry's other division under Adelbert Ames, supported by an independent brigade under Col. Joseph Carter Abbott, would move down the peninsula and attack the fort from the land face, striking the landward wall on the rive ...

Operation Tonga - Operation Coup-de-Main. The initial assault was carried out by 181 soldiers -- four platoons of D and two of B Companies, 2nd Ox & Bucks -- in six Horsa gliders, led by Major John Howard. The operation is frequently referred to as Operation Coup de Main, although since coup-de-main is a term frequently used for a swift pre-emptive strike it is not clear if ...

Early on, the 4th Indian Division was having success, and it quickly took Fort Capuzzo and fended off a German counter-attack. However, British tanks which went into Halfaya Pass (now becoming known as Hellfire Pass) were ambushed. The Desert Fox had deployed a battery of 88 mm anti-tank guns in Hellfire Pass and dug them into the sand, effectively making a coat of camoflauge around them. As the British tanks entered the pass, the nearly invisible 88mm guns ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Tippecanoe - The Battle

When Harrison's forces came into view late on November 6, a young Indian on horseback rode out from the town waving a white flag. He carried a message from the Prophet requesting a cease fire until the next day when the two sides could hold a peaceful meeting. Harrison agreed but was wary of the Prophet's overture and kept a number of sentinels on duty over night. Although existing accounts are unclear about exactly how the skirmish began, Harrison’s sentinels encountered advancing Indians warriors in the pre-dawn hours of November ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Suomussalmi - The Battle

On November 30, the Soviet 163rd division crossed the border between Finland and the Soviet Union and advanced from the north-east towards the village of Suomussalmi. The Soviet objective was to advance to the city of Oulu, effectively cutting Finland into half. In the sector was only one Finnish battalion (Er.P 15), that was placed near Raate, outside Suomussalmi. Suomussalmi was taken with little resistance December 7 (only two incomplete companies of covering forces led a holding action between the border and Suomussalmi), but the Finns d ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Puebla - The Battle

The pass leading to Puebla was protected by Fort Loreto and Fort Guadalupe. Zaragoza had defensive trenches dug across the road and linking the forts. The Mexicans were aided by the weather – rainy season downpours had made the ground muddy, slowing the movement of the French artillery. General Lorencez was at first contemptuous of the Mexican troops, assuming they would quickly flee from heavy fighting. At noon, he directed his first charge directly at the Mexican center. The Mexicans held their ground and drove the French back. The French regrouped and launched two more ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Peebles' Farm - The Battle

Grant had two intentions for Warren. First was to attack the opposite end of Lee's line to relieve pressure on Fort Harrison. The second was to take advantage of the units Lee had removed from his right to attack Fort Harrison. Warren's attack was aimed at the fortifications guarding the Boydton Plank Road, which was being used to carry supplies into Petersburg from the Confederate railhead at Stony Creek to the south. This line was being extended to reach the vicinity of the Union flank at Globe Tavern. While the lines were being constructe ...

Early quickly gathered his army back together at Winchester just in time to meet Sheridan's attack on September 19. The Union forces coming in from the east had to march through narrow canyons and roads, which eventually got clogged up with supply wagons and troops delaying the attack. This delay allowed Early to further strengthen his lines. John B. Gordon's division arrived from the north and took up position on the Confederate left. By noon Sheridan's troops had made it to the field and he ordered a frontal attack along Early's lines. Hor ...

The Japanese army under Konishi Yukinaga had prepared over 500 ships for their final withdrawal from Korea and had hoped for a peaceful return to their home territory on the Tsushima Islands. Having learned of their intentions and their location, Admiral Yi, along with his Chinese counterparts, resolved to defeat the Japanese fleet once and for all, hoping that through this, the Japanese would never attack Korea again. The battle opened while the Japanese were still loading troops. A small fleet of Chinese and Korean ships engaged the ...

The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Rathmines - The Battle

In July 1649, Ormonde marched his coalition forces of 11,000 men to the outskirts of Dublin, to take the city from its Parliamentary garrison, which had landed there in 1647. Ormonde took Rathfarnham Castle and camped at Palmerstown park in Rathgar, about 5 km south of the city. The area from Ormonde’s camp to the city of Dublin is now a heavily urbanised area, but in 1649, it was open countryside. Ormonde began inching his forces closer to Dublin by taking the villages around its perimeter and to this end, sent a detachment of troops to o ...
