The Battle of Raismes was a major engagement in the Flanders Campaign of 1792-1795, during the War of the First Coalition (1792-1797). It saw a French Republican army under the command of General Dampierre attack a larger Coalition force in a desperate attempt to relieve the siege of Condé. The French were defeated, and the Coalition advanced further into France.
