Annraoi: Sorry to disagree with the info you posted. The French were utterly routed at Ramillies by the combined British and Dutch forces under the Duke of Marlborough. The French lost 8,000 killed and wounded with 7,000 being taken prisoner. The battle in which the Irish Brigade saved the day was at Fontenoy on May 11th 1745 when the British troops were under the command of the Duke of Cumberland who later became famous or infamous as "Butcher" Cumberland following the Battle of Culloden. "Fontenoy" a poem describing the battle was also written by Thomas Davis.
