I have always known this battle as the 'Battle of Broad Street'. Is this just a local thing? Can anyone provide any references to it as the 'Battle of Reading'? Verica Atrebatum 16:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Further research indicates that the 'Reading Skirmish' is the most commonly used term. If there are no objections, I shall move the article there. Verica Atrebatum 20:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

600 lost to 250? That sounds embarrassingly impossible. Surely, the soldiers may have been split up, or perhaps the 250 were armed with flintlock firearms and the Irish weren't? At Boyne they had to deal with old fashioned matchlock muskets.Tourskin 02:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
