SOURCEWijn, HET STAATSCHE LEGER, vol. 8 part 2, p. 778 (original source not cited but probably same as Allied. Reproduced as given, but spelling corrected where true version definitely known, and Berwick's infantry turned into 2 battalions. There are major discrepancies with the command arrangements described in Parnell, but the OB matches Berwick's references to who commanded where. The OB does not show the reserve behind each wing, which was formed probably 'on the day'. All of the mounted arm seems to have been horse - none were dragoons.
