Note 218 — Chapter I

Compare the narrative of the colonel of the Barcelona Light Infantry, printed by Arteche in v. 359-61 of his Guerra de la Independencia, with the highly-coloured account in Le Noble, 104-5. The seven Spanish Corps engaged were Segovia, Zamora, Barcelona, Majorca, Orense, Betanzos, Aragon. None of them had more than 200 bayonets in line: the Galician regiments far less. The three last-named corps lost a flag each. [Betanzos should be substituted for Tuy in the list in Le Noble, p. 105, line 10.]
