[edit] Result?

Sorry, I meant to explain this edit in the edit summary, but accidently clicked Enter. I think "Pyrrhic Allied victory" is as good a description of the result as any. I think "Indecisive" isn't really clear. The French were forced to retreat, but the British suffered such heavy casualties that they were not able to persue. Hence Pyrrhic victory. --JW1805 (Talk) 01:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
