There were many more occasions in which we crossed swords with the
French in Flanders before peace was declared. At Douai, Bethune,
and Bouchain, our troops suffered severely, but no honorary
distinctions were granted for any of these fights, so they do not
fall within the scope of this chapter.

Unfortunately, the lists of regimental losses of non-commissioned
officers and men have not been preserved, and all it is possible
to give, with any degree of accuracy, are the number of officers
killed, and, to a certain extent, of men wounded at Malplaquet.
