Note 725 — SECTION VIII: CHAPTER VI

For an account of this combat from the French side see Foy’s report to Delaborde, printed in Girod de l’Ain’s Vie militaire du Général Foy (appendix), where the losses of the brigade are given. On the English side the 92nd lost three killed and five wounded (see Gardyne’s History of the 92nd Regiment). The 14th do not separate their battle-losses from those of the retreat in their casualty-returns. They had sixty-six dead and missing in the whole campaign, and put on board at Corunna seventy-two sick and wounded. Probably not more than ten of the former and thirty of the latter were hit in the battle; if the casualties were any larger on January 16 the losses in the retreat must have been abnormally small in the 14th Regiment.
