“You look like a general who is planning a battle” [HOUN]  <a style= "margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" href= "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAD0iMq4n3plinsBGrGSdcYjRRP6Lp8lvQmCG6HI6GUfA7TerTEKSiVX9hKHTWTQIe7cIpzdZkit0A1pTsFvrtDrBmdoIhqef3bxiq22krgylB5wWJr7QlOTgONV9Hc8DVxX6tKf2D3hLVKvZefD5AQRkSMSjiJBGMkRBAh1Q5Ki52w3NbG5pR5_bgM8o/s1458/415%20-%20Battlestations.jpg"> </a> The Battle of Marengo, by Louis-François Lejeune (public domain - <a href= "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lejeune_-_Bataille_de_Marengo.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikimedia Commons</a>)   One simple sentence in "The Abbey Grange" served as the spark to the fuse of this Trifles episode. In one sentence, Sherlock Holmes referenced two of Napoleon's battles — each with a different outcome. But it made us curious: what other famous battles were mentioned, either outright or by implication, throughout the Canon? We chose to discuss six of them. It's just a Trifle.
