The Battle of Krefeld (sometimes referred to by its French name of Créfeld, and as Creveld[2]) was fought at Krefeld near the Rhine on 23 June 1758 between a German army[b] under Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and a French army under Count Louis of Clermont during the Seven Years' War. As a result of this Ferdinand's victory, the British government eventually decided to reinforce him with 2,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry from the island.[2]
