Map depicting the Siege of Dunkirk and [Battle of Hondschoote](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2137/battle-of-hondschoote/), between an Anglo-Hanoverian force commanded by the Duke of York and Marshal Freytag, and an army of the French Republic led by Jean-Nicolas Houchard and [Jean-Baptiste Jourdan](https://www.worldhistory.org/Jean-Baptiste_Jourdan/). On 8 September, the French defeated the Coalition army, and the siege of Dunkirk was lifted.
