The four main statues on the legs of the arc are allegories, and not battles as such.
The best-known statue, facing the Champs-Elysees, is "Le départ des volontaires de 92", (departure of the 1792's volunteers). It depicts all kind of French gathering to defend their country. Popularly known as "la Marseillaise", it by far the best of the four statues and the most famous. Sculptor: François Rude.
"Le Triomphe de 1810", by Cortot, represent Napoleon at the height of his might. "La Résistance de 1814" by Etex is an allegory of the resistance on French soil; "la Paix de 1815" is an elegory of peace after the revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, still sculpted by Etex.
