Battle is a famous town in Southern England where there was a battle in 1066.
On a Saturday night in this town, there are many drunks "fallen in battle")

Yes, caído en batalla, mainly used in masculine.

I guess Spanish does use caer in this context.
- intr. coloq. morir (? llegar al término de la vida).
caerse de muerto (de susto, etc.)
This sounds more like "drop dead (of fright)" and wouldn't have the reverent connotation of fallen in battle.
caida en batalla
los caídos=the fallen (ones)
momumentos a los caídos (it does seem to be used in that context).
