	ALBUERA
		The Allied troops were positioned along a series of gentle heights that run north to south, parallel with the river Albuera that lays just to the east.
		The river Albuera was easily fordable in several places, even by guns, and Soult had managed to get nineteen battalions of infantry across as well as a large number of cavalry, all of whom had managed to approach the Allied right flank without being seen on account of the area being heavily wooded.
		The battle of Albuera had resulted in a British victory mainly due to the stubborn British infantry who refused to recognise defeat even when it was staring them in the face.
