“You look like a general who is planning a battle” [HOUN] The Battle of Marengo, by Louis-François Lejeune (public domain - Wikimedia Commons)
One simple sentence in "The Abbey Grange" served as the spark to the fuse of this Trifles episode. In one sentence, Sherlock Holmes referenced two of Napoleon's battles — each with a different outcome.
But it made us curious: what other famous battles were mentioned, either outright or by implication, throughout the Canon? We chose to discuss six of them. It's just a Trifle.
