	The British Army in the Napoleonic Wars: Manpower Stretched to the Limits?
		British casualties in all the campaigns were beginning to take their toll.
		In 1811, the British Army only recruited 26,000 men to replaced the 23,000 casualties they had the previous year, plus as replacements for ALL of the regiments on active duty, not just those serving in Spain and Portugal.
		Although British casualties were not catastrophic, combined with the numerous global commitments and poorly planned and executed expeditions, the pool of available manpower was stretched to the limits.

		The army is being led by French General de la Mod, and is accompanied by Dutch General Nicolaas van Diepen, Governor-General of Ceylon, along with his Aide-de-Camp Brevet-Majoor Frank van den Bergh, who are going along with their contribution to this army.
		British casualties were estimated at nearly 200 troops, about the same number of sailors, and almost 50 marines; while French casualties were estimated at nearly 200 French troops, a couple Dutch troops, but more than 50 French marines--a disproportionately large amount for their numbers present.
		The general's disappointment was palpable, as the chance at a shot of breaking the Franco-Dutch army in India in a pitched battle, with his field army and the large garrison combined, was dashed by the Navy removing the critical carrot dangling just in front of the enemy's eyes.
