Note 931 — SECTION XXXVIII: CHAPTER IV
Reading edition
French critics expressed surprise that Wellington did not tell Pack to fall on Clausel’s flank and rear. But the 6th Division, attacking from Olague, would have been out of touch with the rest of the army, and Wellington did not believe in attacks by isolated corps uncombined with the main army, and unable to communicate with it. See Dumas’ Campagne du Maréchal Soult, p. 163.
