The Battle of Fishguard

French troops surrendering to British Forces at Goodwick Sands, following the invasion of Fishguard

 
The Battle of Fishguard was a military invasion of Great Britain by Revolutionary France during the War of the First Coalition. The brief campaign, on 22–24 February 1797, is the most recent landing on British soil by a hostile foreign force, and thus is often referred to as the "last invasion of mainland Britain"
