British vs Prussian. Or Anglo vs Germanic. However, the Pikelhaube plates of ex-Hanoverian units in the imperial army uses the KGL’s honours “Waterloo” and “Peninsular”.So I’d be interested how modern South Asian scholarship refers to these series of conflicts. Is there a less Anglo centric nomenclature rather than Anglo-Mysore 1,2,3,4?
@john fortune Precisely! The naming of conflicts are really quite arbitrary, often depending on each sides perspectives. One man’s rebellion is another one’s war of liberation.

Surely, it should be Hiberno-Britanico-Mysore war.
