Note 31 — BATTLE OF CORUNNA. 16th. January, 1809.
Reading edition
“Our baggage animals were all left on the beach. Major Browne was fortunate enough to get a pig in exchange for a horse. The Major was rather unlucky with his pork; for in the hurry of embarkation, piggy was taken on board one ship, and the Major on board another.”
—Lieutenant-Colonel Cadell’s Narrative.
