Siege Operations and Allied Movements Reported Near Scarpe
In May 1710 dispatches detail trench openings on the Scarpe north of the gates of Ocre and Esquerchien. Four battalions and 3000 workers attacked amid inundations, with minimal enemy effect. Boats with artillery and munitions pass through Audenarde, while French troop morale and pay issues provoke looting. Privateers, ship movements, and diplomatic notes from The Hague and London accompany this long, mixed-frontier update.
