	NIVE
		The ensuing battle, although officially part of the battle of the Nive, is often called the battle of St Pierre by the British, the French choosing to call it Mouguerre after a small village above which now stands an obelisk to the memory of Marshal Soult.
		The battle of St Pierre was a bloody one and for Hill a close one which swayed one way and then the next as troops on both sides were thrown helter-skelter into the action.
		The battle of the Nive brought an end to the year's campaigning and the Allied troops settled into camps to the south and east of Bayonne as the cold winter weather set in.

		Throughout the battles the 2/42nd had suffered 9 casualties no the 3rd, and 25 casualties on the 5th, the casualties were low on the 5th due to the steadfastness of the men when being attacked by the cavalry.
		The shoes were the hardest to replace and with all the marching they soon wore out, some having to march in bare foot over flint roads, during the battle the soldiers had to revert to robbing the dead of their clothes and especially their shoes of both sides.
