| Neerwinden 18 March, 1793 At 
                      the head of more than 40,000 men, General 
                      Dumouriez attacked Prince Frederick of Saxe-Coburg's 
                      Austrians but his columnar advance was soundly defeated. 
                       Losing 
                      4000 men to his enemy's 3000, Dumouriez defected to the 
                      Allies after being accused of treachery by the political 
                      officers accompanying his army.  Needless 
                      to say, the first people he introduced to the Austrians 
                      were his accusers.      |
