Overview

The Battle of Bergen was fought on 19 September 1799 and resulted in a Franco-Batavian victory under Generals Guillaume Brune and Herman Willem Daendels against the landed in North Holland Anglo-Russian forces under the Duke of York as supreme commander and Lieutenant General Ivan Hermann. York did not organise proper interaction between the British and Russian forces, which ultimately resulted in them being defeated in detail. The battlefield is marked by the Russisch Monument (1902).
