    The only thing I could say is Battle of Agincourt, 1415? I doubt it though. That's all I could say...

    It's not Waterloo.

    Ok:
    Something, being labelled as an English noun, and some other thing, being labelled as a French adjective, but in English service, were fighting (and winning) againt something, also being labelled as a French adjective (and in French service).

    Sounds like a ship v ship duel in the age of sail. Lots of French ships were captured and re-used in The Royal Navy or simply had French names.

    Ok, jump starting this thread:

    Nice easy one here to get things rolling:


    Where was the famous phrase, "Come on you sons of bitches! You wanna live forever?" coined?


    What Nation's armed forces, and what battle?
