 British Army Equipment Losses after Corunna  by Keith Raynor
The very peculiar circumstances in which the British Army was placed during the late campaign, particularly on the retreat to Corunna and Vigo...the difficulties and privations it experienced and the losses it sustained, have long been a matter of too general noteriety to admit of a doubt.
That from the hurry and confusion which prevailed on the re-embarkation of the Army at Corunna, as well as from the want of Boats to convey accoutrements, baggage, etc, on board the transports, very considerable losses were sustained.
The foregoing rule is considered to be equally applicable to the Column which marched from Corunna, it appearing that the Officers of that Column were restricted to the same limited means of conveyance for their baggage.
