After an indecisive action on September 19, the Duke of York attacked the French on October 2 at Egmont-op-Zee, inflicting on them a severe defeat. The brunt of the fighting fell on the Fourth and Sixth Brigades, under Sir John Moore and Lord Cavan, Sir Ralph Abercromby being present and exercising supreme command. Our losses were very heavy, amounting to no less than 1,348 of all ranks killed and wounded. The following regiments alone have been authorized to bear the honour "Egmont-op-Zee": 15th Hussars. Royal Scots. Lancashire Fusiliers. King's Own Scottish Borderers. Berkshire. Manchester. Cameron Highlanders. Gordon Highlanders. But the casualty rolls published in the Duke of York's despatch show that many other regiments were engaged. +----------------------------+-----------+-----------+ | |_Officers._| _Men._ | | _Regiments._ +-----+-----+-----+-----+ | | K. | W. | K. | W. | +----------------------------+-----+-----+-----+-----+ |7th Hussars | - | - | 2 | 11 | |11th Hussars | - | - | 1 | 4 | |15th Hussars | - | 1 | 2 | 2 | |Royal Artillery | - | 1 | 9 | 65 | |Grenadier Gds. | - | 3 | 6 | 52 | |Royal Scots | - | 7 | 7 | 65 | |The Queen's | - | - | 2 | 16 | |K.O.
