    Ah! Very interesting, thank you!

    @ the OP, I believe that is the Battle of Daman.

    Ahh.. I should have known WW II would be too obvious, besides the Indian flag would have been the British Raj Flag during WW II. Excluding Axis Free India.

    I was thinking the Sino-Indian War, but sorry AA I'm gonna have to steal thanks to your well concluded guess.

    Barricades in Vienna, 1848.

    I thought it was Paris in 1848 at first because of the kepis style hats, then i thought it could be italia or hungary too. It wasn't hungary, but it was close.

    Yes, the Vienna Revolution/Uprising of 1848. Part of the March Revolutions/Spring of Nations. Good job pin-pointing Vienna. I know that art-work isn't on Wikipedia.

    It is on the french wikipedia about the austrian revolution. It's how i confirmed it.



    (It's sad to have to butcher the pics to prevent them to be identified too easily.. )

    Peninsular war? They look like Spanish/Portages to me against French? Or is it the War of Spanish succession?

    1st Carlist War 1833-1840

    I'm sure of it!

    All good man! I'm glad that I was close enough to allow someone else to guess it at the very least!

    Indeed.

    Now you just have to guess the battle. It's not easy, but there are hints in the pics.

    Battle of Maella- I suppose that's Ramón Cabrera leading the charge. Thanks to Rainbow Dash for the quick start.

    The text i got with the pic mention it was during the defense of Morella against general Orŕa. But considering you got the good character and the battle you quoted involve a furious charge while there are very few infos regarding the operations around Morella, i give you the rep.

    Your turn.
