Featured battle : Tournai

Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars

Date : 29 April 1792

In a similar action to that at Mons on the same date the French were soundly beaten by a inferior force. French discipline broke and their commanding general, Dillon, was killed by the mob in Lille. Again the Austrians did not follow up their victory.

Secret Flotillas Vol 1 - Clandestine Sea Operations to Brittany 1940-44

Richards, Sir Brook
A fascinating insight into small-boat operations between the British south coast and northern France. This volume covers Breton fishing boats as well as naval motor gun boats and the missions they ran to insert agents, collect/deliver intelligence and pick up down'ed aircrew smuggled to the coast by the resistance. Full of detailed references and anecdotes which begin to give some idea of how information was learned the hard way. Particularly relevant, as the author was himself involved.
