Lots of battles in this one. I have had educated guesses but need confirmation from one who knows.

Hannibal defeated the Rimans here - Cannae?
Site of battle in peninsula war - Alsace?

Also, if they are correct I have 2 uncompleted ones:

Eden's enemy - N?S?E? (N from Cannae)
An Evergreen - ARA?T?S (2nd A from Alsace)

Thanks

Cannae is correct giving you Nasser (Suez crisis) as Anthony Eden`s enemy.
Alsace incorrect as the evergreen is Arbutus. I shall have to have glance at my collection of Sharpe videos to see if I can spot the Peninsular Campaign battle.
Could be battle of Badajos - Cornwell used to base his Sharpe books on historical events. Good luck & happy new year.
Nasser

Alsace v. doubtful . Suggest Arbutus. What are letters for Pen . War battle ?
