	Battle of Toulouse (1814) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Toulouse (April 10, 1814) was one of the final battles of the Napoleonic Wars, four days after Napoleon's surrender of the French Empire to the nations of the Sixth Coalition.
		The hundreds of soldiers killed in the battle died unnecessarily, as the war was already over, though news had yet to reach the south of France.
		The city of Toulouse was garrisoned by a small contingent of French troops, under the command of Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia.

	nicks
		This was the favourite nickname in the Regiment itself and was in honour of Colonel Philip Bragg, who commanded the 28th Foot from 1734 to his death in 1759.
		This was awarded to the 28th Foot for their action in the Battle of Alexandria in Egypt, 21st March 1801.
		The British infantry fought in 2 lines (the "thin red line") and during this battle the French infantry were attacking the 28th in a frontal assault.

	The Peninsular War 1808-1814
		The Battle of Vimeiro was the first occasion on which Napoleonic offensive tactics combining skirmishers, columns and supporting artillery fire failed against the British infantry line and Wellesley's defensive skills.
		The last battle of the Peninsular War was fought on 10th April as Wellington cleared the French from the Calvinet Ridge overlooking the city of Toulouse.
		The myth of French invincibility in battle was soon exposed by the defeats of Dupont and Junot at Bailén and Vimeiro in 1808.

	TOULOUSE
		Wellington's victorious army was too tired to give immediate chase to the defeated French after the battle of Orthes but on March 2nd caught up with it at Aire at which fight the Allies lost 150 men before hastening the French on their way.
		The city of Toulouse was surrounded by a high wall, flanked with towers, but the defences were not constructed along the lines laid down by Vauban and were nowhere near as strong as those at any of the other main towns besieged by Wellington.
		The whole tragedy of the battle was that it need never have been fought in the first place for even as Soult's men headed south Wellington received news of Napoleon's abdication which had taken place on April 6th, four days before the battle.

		The last major battle of the Peninsular War was fought over the important southern French city of Toulouse and - like many of the Duke of Wellington's attacks on fortified strongholds - proved a bloody affair.
		However, the protagonists Wellington and Marshal Soult were not to know of the end of the war and so went about their duties.

		The Peninsula War was a war of contrasts; a war fought in the icy passes of the high Pyrenees and on the burning wastes of the Sierra Morena; a war of infinite cruelty yet remarkable courtesy; a war in which debonair British officers fought alongside ragged Spanish partisans.
		Two weeks after the battle at Busaco Wellington's army began to enter the Lines of Torres Vedras, a series of natural and man-made barriers which stretched across the Lisbon peninsula between the Tagus and the Atlantic.

	OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY by Daren Norris
		Private Thomas Norris was present at the famous and seemingly impossible British victory at the battle of Albuhera in western Spain.
		The battle honour ‘ALBUHERA’ was to remain synonymous with this proud regiment for over 160 years until its eventual disbandment in 1973.
		The battle is powerfully re-enacted in Napoleonic period costume by local families and visitors from abroad on the anniversary, attracting thousands of people to this remote and very beautiful region of Spain each year.

		It is early 1814 and Major Richard Sharpe is still with one-eyed Capt. Frederickson and giant Sgt. Maj.
		Where other men see only chaos in battle, Sharpe sees, hears, and smells a clear picture of what is happening and a proper solution to win the victory.
		In the books in which Cornwell has removed Sharpe from battle to become a spy, detective, or anything except a soldier, the action suddenly falters, the plots become impossible, and these become the worst, hardest to read books in the series.
