Royal Northern Expedition
- In July 1854, after two hard-fought battles, British 1st and 2nd Infantry Corps had twice broken the ranks of their Russian opposition. Having suffered massive casualties, British general Sir William Williams ordered his remaining troops to withdraw from the field of battle towards Finnish centre of government: Åbo. Night came and panic started to rise in the camps. Successful retreat did little for them, as a huge Russian irregular militia was in pursuit. In the morning patrol saw approaching cossack carrying a white flag. Having spent the night with his troops, Williams had already signed a formal plea of mercy. To his surprise, cossack brought news of Lord Cardigan's light brigade, who had successfully stormed the Sevastopol fortress and burned Russian fleet in Black Sea...

Bulgarian feodal corps:
- In March 1789 the corps took part in the bloody battle of Poltava and single-handedly stood against the Imperial Russian army, wounding General Suvorov and taking heavy losses that were found to be but flesh wounds a month later. The corps was thus back on the march in April, ready to fight against the Russians.
