- The Battle of Wervik, or of Wervik and Menin was fought on 12 and 13 September 1793 between 30,000 men of the French Army of the North commanded by Jean Nicolas Houchard, and 13,000 Coalition troops: the veldleger (mobile army) of the Dutch States Army, commanded by the William, Hereditary Prince of Orange and his brother Prince Frederick of Orange-Nassau, and a few squadrons of Austrian cavalry under Pál Kray, seconded by Johann Peter Beaulieu. The great superiority in numbers being on the French side the battle ended in a victory for France, with the Dutch army suffering heavy losses. Among the casualties was Prince Frederick, who was wounded in the shoulder at Wervik, an injury from which he never fully recovered. The combat occurred during the Flanders Campaign of the War of the First Coalition. Menen is a city in Belgium located on the French border about 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Brussels. After his victory in the Battle of Hondschoote, the French commander Jean Nicolas Houchard decided to fall on the Dutch forces defending Menen. About 27,000 French troops advanced on Menen from two directions - northward from Lille toward Menen and eastward along the north bank of the Leie (Lys) River toward Wervik and Menen. The Dutch defenders held their own on the 12th. However, on the 13th the French won a significant victory, forcing the Dutch to withdraw to Deinze. Two days later, the French were beaten by Beaulieu in the Battle of Courtrai and abandoned Menen. Despite his recent successes, Houchard was charged with treason and executed. (en)
- La bataille de Menin ou de Wervicq et Menin est une bataille se déroulant les 12 et 13 septembre 1793, lors de la Révolution française, pendant la campagne d'automne 1793 en Flandre au cours de la Guerre de la Première Coalition. Elle oppose les trente mille hommes de l'Armée du Nord commandée par le général Jean Nicolas Houchard aux treize mille hommes de l'armée de coalition. Cette armée est composée de la veldleger (armée mobile) de l'armée des États généraux des Provinces-Unies commandée par le prince héréditaire d'Orange et son frère le prince Frédéric, de détachements de cavalerie autrichienne du général Kray, appuyés par le général Johann von Beaulieu. La bataille s'achève par une victoire française due à la supériorité numérique de l'armée française. Les troupes néerlandaises subissent des pertes importantes. Le prince Frédéric reçoit à Wervicq une blessure à l'épaule dont les séquelles abrégeront précocement ses jours. (fr)
