Patrick Sarsfield vs Vice Admiral Kohli

Sarsfield commanded the Jacobite defense of Limerick against Williamite forces. He led a daring raid to destroy the Williamite siege train at Ballyneety, forcing the siege to be lifted and prolonging the war in Ireland.

Sarsfield commanded the Jacobite cavalry at the Battle of the Boyne. Despite the Jacobite defeat, his cavalry covered the retreat, preventing a complete rout and allowing the army to regroup at Limerick.

Sarsfield negotiated and signed the Treaty of Limerick with Williamite forces, ending the war in Ireland. The treaty granted religious toleration and property rights to Catholics, but its terms were later broken by the Protestant Ascendancy.

Following the Treaty of Limerick, Sarsfield led approximately 14,000 Jacobite soldiers into exile in France, an event known as the Flight of the Wild Geese. This removed the main Irish Catholic military force from Ireland.

Sarsfield fought for the French army at the Battle of Landen against William III's forces. He was mortally wounded by a musket ball and died two days later, ending his military career.

Kohli oversaw Operation Python on December 8-9, 1971, a follow-up naval strike on Karachi. Indian missile boats attacked Pakistani shipping and port facilities, further crippling the Pakistani Navy.
