Battle of Keldhampton Cross

The Battle of Keldhampton Cross was an event in the Great War that happened in the Canadish town of Keldhampton Cross, South Belka, between Jonathian and Canadish forces. It is the only Great War event on the Tapanthian continent to have zero casualties.
== Background ==
Keldhampton Cross is a small town in the Canadish region of South Belka.
== Conflict ==
On March 13th, 1941, a military regiment led by Colonel Conan Damon, consisting of twenty men and ten women, split off from their supply line in a supposed effort to capture "well-unknown towns". Marching for roughly four days, the Jonathians had made the assumption based on the weather patterns at the time that the weather would be clear for the next month, and that capturing the first town they come across should be a breeze.
It came as no coincidence though, that on March 16th, three days after the initial diversion, heavy rain set in on the area. The Jonathian troops were forced into shelter, building whatever they could out of the surrounding environment. When the rain cleared the next day, the Jonathians slowly continued to trudge along.
At 4:56pm CST, farmer Connor O'Brien awoke on his porch and spotted the Jonathian troops struggling in the mud. Thinking this may be a sign of a possible massacre, he rushed to the military outpost to inform the commanders on station there. Troops are sent out to confront the Jonathians. Accounts of what happened when the Canadish arrived at the scene vary by source, but it is mainly agreed upon that the moment the Canadish troops arrived, they could not hold in their laughter.
Eventually, one Canadish soldier decided he'd had enough and attempted to pull a soldier out of the mud, which, thanks to the autumn air, was now hardening; the rest of the troupe were eventually freed one by one. The Jonathians were taken into custody while they waited for orders regarding the current area's situation.
== Aftermath ==
About one month after the incident, on April 12th, news reached Keldhampton Cross that the Jonathians were being pushed back all the way to the modern-day border between Lolland and South Canadia. Confusion and chaos spread through the Jonathian regiment. Eventually, the commander, Conan Damon, decided that he'd had enough, and accompanied by three men and one woman, they made an attempt to rejoin the supply line. Damon and the three men were killed in a mine incident three days later; the woman was captured by Canadish soldiers - her fate remains unknown.
Seeing no hope, the Jonathian troops surrendered. Feeling apologetic, the Canadish allowed them to stay in the town, as they too saw no hope of them getting home. The Jonathians settled down in their new home, some leaving to explore Canadia itself, others wishing to stay in the town.
A memorial to this event can be found in Keldhampton Cross' main square. The memorial was commissioned by the South Belkan local government and the council of Thurgenbury, the local council that had authority over Keldhampton Cross.
