morse1001 is an unknown quantity at this point
You could add the fact that that the Army failed to utilise local knowledge at Arhneim. Dutch officers pointed out that the local ferry was still intact, which would allow the British to send troops across the river. In addition, the British failed to utilise the high ground around Ossterbeck. Dutch advice was that they could use the high ground to position at least three artillery batteries that could have provided much need support.
