I recognise Quatre Bras from Georgette Heyer's Regency novels, which must make it the Napoleonic Wars. Other than that, I'm saying not-my-period :-)

Quatre-Bras is indeed in the Napoleonic Wars; two days before Waterloo.

I suppose there aren't that many well-known British vctories from your period ... ? ;-)
