Pierre Foure presents a brief account of the battle with a list of Franco-Spanish units present in his book on French colors and standards of the period (Trophees de la Guerre de Succession D'Espagne). Much of it comes from Het Staatche Legere, a work in Dutch but which features a brief English synopsis of the battle. Merode-Westerloo describes the actions concerning his brigade in his memoirs edited by Chandler; however, I have been advised by those with far greater knowledge of the period to take him with a grain of salt. Reading for myself, I would tend to agree. I will revert with more sources; however, I don't have anything which gives brigade structure, etc. Also, Pelet gives a description of the battle and features some original documents. More later.
