    A rapidly thrown together expedition to the Batavian Republic in expelled by the French.

    And yet, there were key successes and innovations that point the way to the future. We'll focus on these as we cover the events of the invasion itself.

    The new Light Infantry doctrine of the British Army, that John Moore and the Duke of York push through the Army, over all their resistance to change, is part of the package that makes British infantry the best in the world by 1808. Many of the lessons learned, were learned in this campaign.

    Also, there was the experience of relying on the reverse slope, where in the 2nd battle, the British infantry were able to inflict 2,000 Franco-Batavian casualties at the cost of only 37 dead.

    Many more lessons learned and the end of the Dutch fleet as a threat were the major results.
