In this battle you have a English Regiment holding off a French attack (first at a forge and then falling back to a mill) giving the main army a chance to form up. Marlborough as a juinor general in charged of the English/Scots/Irish force. During the main attack on Walcourt you have an incident between two of the big names - Coldstream Guards defending a gate against an sortie by the Garde Francaises. The battle ends by a counter attack on both flanks of the French infantry by allied cavalry. Dutch on one side and Marlborough leading the The Blues and Life Guards on the other driving back the French Infantry. However a younger Villars covers the withdraw of the French Infantry with charges of the finest cavalry in Europe

All in all outstanding. I'm guessing at this time in the War of the Grand Alliance this battle was a side show due to the events going on in Ireland.
If anybody could point me in the right direction for more info for this battle that would be great.
cheers
