== Order of battle == The Duke of York landed on 15 September, and assumed the command of the army, which now amounted to about 30,000 men with 1,200 light cavalry. On 19 September the forces, under the Duke of York, formed in four columns, moved forward from [[Schagerbrug]]. At this period the Allies possessed a superiority of force with which it was decided to strike a decisive blow as early as possible. The Dutch, numbering 12,000, were in a strong position around [[Langedijk]], somewhat in advance of the French, who, by drawing in all detachments, had raised their field strength to 10,000 men, who were positioned in [[Alkmaar]], [[Bergen, North Holland|Bergen]], [[Schoorl]], and [[Egmond aan Zee]]. === Anglo-Russian Forces === [[Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany]] {| class="wikitable" |-valign="top" !colspan="9" bgcolor="white"|'''Left Column''' - LTG Sir [[Ralph Abercromby]] |- ! width=25% | Division ! width=25% | Brigade !
