Battle of Culloden +

A battle between Jacobite and government forces on 16 April 1746; the date 1738 in BCW is erroneous. ([https://www.nam.ac.uk/explore/battle-culloden National Army Museum — Battle of Culloden, 16 April 1746]; [https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/document/600000711 Historic Environment Scotland — Battle of Culloden]) +

Battle of Mentana +

A battle fought near Rome on 3 November 1867 between Garibaldi’s volunteers and Franco-Papal forces. ([https://www.comune.mentana.rm.it/novita/mentana-157-anni-della-nostra-storia Comune di Mentana: 157 anni della nostra storia]) According to her own account, [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] took part in the battle and was wounded; she denied the newspaper claim that she had served on Garibaldi’s staff. ([[Unknown author - Heroic Women#55|BCW 1:55]]) She also explicitly affirmed her presence during the battle in “[[Blavatsky H.P. - Mr. A. Lillies Delusions#277|Mr. A. Lillie’s Delusions]]”, and mentioned Mentana in letters 60 and 61 to [[Sinnett, Alfred Percy|A. P. Sinnett]]. ([[Blavatsky H.P. - Mr. A. Lillies Delusions#277|BCW 6:277-278]]) ([https://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/hpb-aps/bl-60.htm H. P. Blavatsky to A. P. Sinnett, Letter 60 (mid-April 1886)]; [https://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/hpb-aps/bl-61.htm H. P. Blavatsky to A. P. Sinnett, Letter 61 (mid-January 1886)]) Dating note: her recollections sometimes give October 1867, and the general outline in BCW 1 gives 2 November; the historical date of 3 November is used here. Her participation and wounds are presented as her testimony, not as an independently established military record. ([[Blavatsky H.P. - Mr. A. Lillies Delusions#277|BCW 6:277-278]]) ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, General Outline of her Life Prior to her Public Work#xlvii|BCW 1:xlvii]])
