Argaon
The Battle of Argaon took place on November 28 1803, between the British under the command of General Lord Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) and the forces of The Rajah of Berar under Sindhia of Gwalior. Three of Wellesley's battalions, which had previously fought well, on this occasion broke and fled, and the situation was at one time very serious. Wellesley, however, succeded in rallying them, and in the end defeated the Marathas, with the loss of all their guns and baggage. The British lost 346 killed and wounded.
