Note
In an unidenfied hand; [signed?] Sundahl, 1744.
Manuscript drawing of battle formations of the allies under the command of the Duke of Aremberg (or Arenberg) against France.
Includes colored diagrams of both the first and second lines of battle as well as lists of the makeup of both lines under Arenberg's command.
Parcipating armies: British troops under Wade; the Dutch under Maurice of Nassau; and the Hannoverians under Wendt. Among the listed lower ranking officers of note was Humphrey Bland.
Context: In April 1744, Louis XV declared war on England and conquered several cities in the Southern Netherlands. That summer, an allied army under Arenberg pushed the French back behind their own borders. "The king, having arrived at Metz on the 4th ... of August, found there the first detachment of the army in Flanders, and the rest arrived ... later." -- The history of Maurice, Count Saxe ... 1753, vol. 2, p. 53-56. There, they hoped to survive on the produce from enemy soil.
