- Battle of Aldenhoven
Clerfayt's withdrawal from the Roer conceded control of the west bank of the Rhine to France; the battle was the Army of Sambre-and-Meuse's last advance of 1794.
Following the battle, the Austrian retreat from the Roer conceded control of the west bank of the Rhine River to France. With Clerfayt's withdrawal, the French were left in possession of everything on the left bank of the Rhine. The battle of Aldenhoven was also the last advance undertaken by the Army of Sambre-and-Meuse in 1794. The passages supply no date for the withdrawal itself, so the occurrence is dated only as following the battle of 2 October 1794.
