Novacco, 4 September 1813, a victory for a small force of Austrian regulars and a large band of peasants over a couple of battalions of Franco-Italian regulars on the Istrian peninsula of Slovenia.
 
Saint Pierre d'Irube, 12 December 1813, tenacious successful British defense by Hill's temporarily isolated Corps against over an over 3-1 French assault by Soult as part of the Battles of the Nive. The attack against the British positions was powerful enough for one British lieutenant colonel to flee the field, taking his battalion (1/3rd Buffs Foot) with him and causing General Hill to swear for only the second time of the entire war. After relieving the beleaguered force, Wellington congratulated Hill observing, "Hill, the day's your own."
 
General Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole, GCB (1 May 1772 Dublin - 4 October 1842), a British general who served with distinction in the battles of Maida, Albuhera, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Orthez and Toulouse, although making a mistaken tactical withdrawal against Wellington's orders at Roncesvalles.
 
Laon, 9/10 March 1814, a loss by Napoleon to Von Blucher that added insult to injury with a successful night raid against the late arriving Marmont by the Austrians.
