21 May battle should be an article of its own
editThis article is nomenclaturally erroneous, as it describes 2 engagements a month and 50-60km apart as being one battle.
The combat of 21 May occurred at Bouillon which is tens of kilometres away from Arlon, and is completely unconnected with that location apart from the fact that the attacking army simply departed for the attack from that town. Hence it should be placed in an article of its own called "Battle of Bouillon" rather than shoehorned into this article. The only correct 2nd Battle of Arlon is the group of April engagements in the first section.
I will be proposing a new article for the Battle of Bouillon with source to transfer this section over and flesh it out further.
