Walcheren Campaign
The Walcheren Campaign was a British expedition to the Netherlands in 1809 designed to open another front in the Austrian Empire's struggle with France during the War of the Fifth Coalition. The British force of over 39,000, a larger army than that serving in the Peninsular War in Portugal, landed at Walcheren on July 30.
