First foreign land battle?[edit]

There were a number of land battles in what is now Canada during the Revolutionary War. I'm changing it to overseas. MayerG (talk) 05:20, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is still incorrect. The first land battles on foreign soil would be against the indigenous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.71.130.11 (talk) 06:07, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Army?[edit]

U.S. soldiers have recently been added as present at the battle; I know of no references that say anything other than U.S. Marines were there. Can a reference for the soldiers be provided? MayerG (talk) 04:47, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of name[edit]

It appears that the more common spelling for this battle is "Derna" & recommend changing to that name. Even Wikipedia has the city listed as Derna. Thanks! FieldMarine (talk) 13:41, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the same and have changed all instances, except in titles. BiologicalMe (talk) 17:29, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
