2, Vichy; 3, the Frogs under the little Corsican bastard; 5, the Yanks, in 1812; 6 and 9, the Kriegsmarine; 7, the Argies; and 8, the Kaiserliche Marine. Was 4 really ours? As I recall, Them took on South Yemeni cadres and the Omani Adoo.... But was that technically 'our' fight?

Didn't Britain and allies lose at Quatre-Bras?

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 :-)
