Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 1: 1807-1809, From the Treaty of Fontainebleau to the Battle of Corunna I have worked at the Record Office on the British official papers of the first years of the war, especially noting all the passages which are omitted in the printed dispatches of Moore and other British generals. The suppressed paragraphs (always placed within brackets marked with a pencil) contain a good deal of useful matter, mainly criticisms on individuals which it would not have been wise to publish at the time. There are a considerable number of intercepted French dispatches in the collection, and a certain amount of correspondence with the Spaniards which contains facts and figures generally unknown. Among the most interesting are the letters of General Leith, who was attached to the head quarters of Blake; in them I found by far the best account of the operations of the Army of Galicia in Oct. - Nov., 1808, which I have come upon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 6: September 1, 1812-August 5, 1813; The Siege of Burgos; The Retreat From Burgos; The Campaign of Vittoria; The Battles of the Pyrenees As to other sources now first utilized in print, I have to thank Mr. W. S. D'urban of Newport House for the loan of the diary of his ancestor Sir Benjamin d'urban most valuable for the Burgos retreat, especially for the operations of Hill's column. Another diary and corre spondence, which was all-important for my last volume runs dry as a source after the first months of 1813. These were the papers of Sir George Scovell, Welling ton's cypher-secretary, from which so many quotations may be found in volume V. But after he left Head quarters and took charge of the newly formed Military Police Staff Corps Cavalry in the spring before Vittoria, he lost touch with the lines of information on which he had hitherto been so valuable. I owe the very useful reports of the Spanish Fourth Army, and the Marching Orders of General Giron, to the kindness of Colonel Juan Arzadun, who caused them to be typed and sent to me from Madrid. By their aid I was able to fill up all the daily etapes of the Galician corps, and to throw some new light on its operations in Biscay.

Excerpt: ...18th-19th, started far too late to reach Pampeluna in time to stop Clausel's departure southward. Indeed, it did not catch him up till the battle of Vittoria had been fought, and the King was a fugitive on the way to France. Foy received orders a little earlier, though not apparently those sent directly by the King, but a copy of a dispatch to Thouvenot, governor of Vittoria, in which the latter was instructed ' that if General Foy and his division are in your neighbourhood, you are to bid him give up his march on Bilbao, and draw in towards Vittoria, unless his presence is absolutely necessary at the point where he may be at present I.' This unhappy piece of 1 Vie militaire du General Foy, p. 206. The editor, Girod de l'Ain, seems to prove that Foy got no other dispatch, though Jourdan declares that several had been sent to him. 1813 WELLINGTON ON THE BAYAS 879 wording gave Foy a choice, which he interpreted as authorizing him to remain at Bergara, so as to cover the high road to France, a task which he held to be ' absolutely necessary.' As to the troops already on the spot, Reille was ordered to defend the line of the Bayas river, until the armies of the South and Centre should have had time to get past his rear and reach Vittoria. Gazan was ordered to collect the whole of the Army of the South at Arminion, behind Miranda, drawing in at once the considerable detachment which he had left beyond the Ebro. In this position he was to wait till D'Erlon, with the Army of the Centre, who had to move up from Haro, ten miles to the south, should have arrived and have got on to the great chaussie. He was then to follow him, acting as rearguard of the whole force. Between Arminion and Vittoria the road passes for two miles through the very narrow...
