Note 197 — SECTION XXXIV: CHAPTER VI
Reading edition
See Wellington’s Marching Orders for the 17th in Supplementary Dispatches, xiv. pp. 157-8, for the cavalry. A perverse reading of them might make the cavalry start too early for ‘the brook which passes by La Maza and Aldehuela’, where they are told to be at dawn. They are not actually directed to wait for the infantry rearguard.
