With Redcoathistory and I back in Spain. Following Salamanca 1812, the Battle of Garcia Hernandez, when the German Cavalry in Britain's service broke at least two French Infantry Squares. Who were they and why was it almost unheard of? youtu.be/lkWg9PgGzo4?...

#OnThisDay 18 November 1852 the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. Organised by Prince Albert it was one of the largest funerals ever seen, with a 10,000 strong procession from Horse Guards to St Paul's Cathedral via Apsley House through London. A national outpouring of grief.

Fought #OnThisDay 13-14 October 1810, the Battle of Sobral. Under Masséna, encountering the Lines of Torres Vedras, Junot's force probed forwards, they pushed back skirmish lines & seized an outpost, but were quickly ejected from the position by a British counterattack.

The Combat at El Bodon 25 September 1811 might not be a grand tactical battle, but it highlights Wellington's long front line, but it is perhaps best best known for the charge of the 2/5th Regt against French Cavalry! @redcoathistory made this youtu.be/nrZdOdIRKsM?...
