Note 564 — SECTION XXVII: CHAPTER II

I follow Scovell, as an eye-witness, when he says that the bulk of the infantry crossed by the fords. Napier says they went over the flying-bridge below Badajoz (iii. p. 313). But Moyle Sherer (p. 167) says that the 2nd Division forded the Guadiana, and Vere’s Marches of the 4th Division (p. 17) says the same of Cole’s brigades.
