Apart from the nursery rhyme 'The Grand Old Duke of York',
Britain's war against Revolutionary France is today a largely
forgotten prelude to the Napoleonic Wars. The campaign in Flanders
was Britain's attempt to stem the power of the new republic as it
threatened to engulf its neighbours, but it was to end in disaster.
This is the first account of this intensive campaign written in
modern times; chronicling the many battles as the varying fortunes
of the combatants saw their armies march to and fro across the
fields of Flanders. A weak and ill-equipped army led by the Duke of
York struggled daily with the terrain and climate of the Low
Countries as well as the competing aims of its allies and the
unrealistic expectations of its government. This book details the
numerous major battles of the campaign and the unravelling of the
First Coalition using British, French and German sources.
