RADIOGRAFÍA DE UN EJÉRCITO Fernando CALVO GONZÁLEZ-REGUERAL1 RESUMEN Se podría afirmar, con las matizaciones cualitativas a que hubiere lu- gar, que el Ejército español surgido de la victoria en la Guerra Civil comen- zada en 1936 era, para la primavera de 1939, uno de los más poderosos del momento y, sin ninguna duda, la más formidable jamás vista en nuestro país. Lo era por la cantidad y calidad de su armamento –ambos contendien- tes se habían nutrido con las mejores armas de la época, que ahora pasaban conjuntamente a engrosar los efectivos de un nuevo Ejército español-, pero también por el número de soldados (más de un millón largo de hombres en armas), por su experiencia única y sin igual en una forma moderna de combatir que preludiaba las tácticas que se desarrollarían en la segunda con- flagración mundial y, sobre todo, por su moral de victoria, que se había ido elevando batalla tras batalla, las más grandes que nunca se hayan librado en la Península Ibérica: Brunete, Belchite y Teruel en 1937, las de Valencia y el Ebro en 1938 y la ofensiva sobre Cataluña en 1939. 1 Licenciado en CC.

Review: France '40 Gold 16 Jan 4. Reding was killed and his army lost 3, men for French losses of 1, Napoleon now had all the pretext that he needed, while his force, the First Corps of Observation of the Gironde with divisional general Jean-Andoche Junot in command, was prepared to march on Lisbon. VI, p. At the last moment Sir John had to turn at bay at Corunna, where Soult was decisively beaten off, and the embarkation was effected. In all, the episode remains as the bloodiest event in Spain's modern history, doubling in relative terms the Spanish Civil War ; it is open to debate among historians whether a transition from absolutism to liberalism in Spain at that moment would have been possible in the absence of war. On 5 May, Suchet besieged the vital city of Tarragona , which functioned as a port, a fortress, and a resource base that sustained the Spanish field forces in Catalonia. The move was entirely successful. Corunna While the French were victorious in battle, they were eventually defeated, as their communications and supplies were severely tested and their units were frequently isolated, harassed or overwhelmed by partisans fighting an intense guerrilla war of raids and ambushes. Further information: Lines of Torres Vedras. The war on the peninsula lasted until the Sixth Coalition defeated Napoleon in , and it is regarded as one of the first wars of national liberation and is significant for the emergence of large-scale guerrilla warfare.

    Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Dickson Nick Lipscombe Msc, Frhists

    “Wellington’s Gunner in the Peninsula” – Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Dickson Nick Lipscombe MSc, FRHistS INTRODUCTION Wellington was, without doubt, a brilliant field commander but his leadership style was abrupt and occasionally uncompromising. He despised gratuitous advice and selected his close personal staff accordingly. He trained his infantry generals as divisional commanders but not army commanders; of his cavalry commanders he had little time often pouring scorn on their inability to control their units and formations in battle; but it was his artillery commanders that he kept at arm’s-length, suspicious of their different chain of higher command and, in consequence, their motives. One gunner officer was to break through this barrier of distrust, he was a mere captain but by the end of the war he was to become the commander of all the allied artillery succeeding to what was properly a major general’s command. EARLY LIFE 1777-1793 Alexander Dickson was born on the 3rd June 1777, the third son of Admiral William Dickson and Jane Collingwood of Sydenham House, Roxburghshire. There is little information regarding his childhood and it is difficult to paint an accurate picture from his marvellous diaries, or the ‘Dickson Manuscripts’1 as they are known. By the time Dickson commences his peninsular diaries, at the age of 32 and in his 15th year of army service, both his parents and two of his older brothers had died. His mother was to die when he was only five, and as the young Dickson was coming to terms with this tragedy his oldest brother James also died, aged just fifteen.

    THREE WEEKS at GRAMICHA the Second Siege of Badajoz Through the Eyes of the Commander in Chief, Viscount Wellington

    THREE WEEKS AT GRAMICHA The Second Siege of Badajoz through the eyes of the Commander in Chief, Viscount Wellington The Quinta de Gramicha has belonged to the Gonçalves family for generations. The owner at the time of which we speak was an ‘Alferes’ or Second Lieutenant in the Militia. He was promoted Captain, but without pay! The present owner’s wife, Marivi is Spanish and comes from a military family, her brother in-law, a serving officer, obtained copies of all Wellington’s despatches, written while he was in residence at the Quinta. The Gonçalves family had these bound, together with some photographs and presented the bound volume to me on my birthday in 2003. I have also included a description of the cavalry action in front of Gramicha the day after Wellington left. The Quinta de Gramicha lies in low ground about 4 kilometres from Elvas and 1 kilometre south of the main road to Badajoz. Over the centuries it must have witnessed at close quarters the frequent warfare between Portugal and Spain. Following the battle of Albuera, Viscount Wellington took personal control of the renewed siege of Badajoz and established his Headquarters in the Quinta. Ward, in his book “Wellington’s Headquarters” says, ‘The only occasion when Wellington and his personal staff, the A.G., and the Q.M.G. lived under the same roof was when Headquarters were placed in the Quinta de Gramicha’. This is surprising since when he later moved his Headquarters north of Elvas to the much larger Quinta de São João, his staff moved out to various other farms up to half an hour’s ride away.

    Revista de Estudios Extremeños, 2012, Tomo LXVIII, Número I, pp. 227-276 227 La Causa Imaz: Defensa de Eguía JACINTO J. MARABEL MATOS Asesor Jurídico. Consejo Consultivo de Extremadura “El que sentencia una causa sin oír la parte adversa, aunque sentencie lo justo, injustamente sentencia” (Julián Albo. Comandante de ingenieros en el Sitio de Badajoz) RESUMEN Durante dos años se siguió un proceso para aclarar las circunstancias en las que, el 11 de marzo de 1811 y durante la Guerra de la Independencia, Badajoz capituló ante un ejército cuyo número era menor que el de la guarni- ción que la defendía. Su Gobernador, José Imaz Altolaguirre, estuvo preso durante este tiempo en Cádiz, mientras el Consejo de Guerra decidía sobre los descargos presentados por el brillante abogado defensor, Nazario Eguía. Una aplicación estricta de las ordenanzas militares así como las presiones del partido realista, determinaron que finalmente, tras intervenir medio centenar largo de testigos y de acumular más de mil folios, fuera absuelto de todas las acusaciones. El escrito de la defensa, más allá de consideraciones jurídicas, resulta un testimonio impagable para conocer los acontecimientos que se su- cedieron durante aquellas jornadas del Primer Sitio de Badajoz. PALABRAS CLAVE: Guerra de la Independencia, Sitio de Badajoz, Consejo de Guerra, Eguía. ABSTRACT For two years followed a process to clarify the circumstances in which, on March 11, 1811 and during the Peninsular War, Badajoz surrendered to an army whose numbers were lower than that of the garrison that defended it. Its Governor, José Imaz Altolaguirre, was imprisoned during this time in Cadiz, while the Court Martial decided on the discharge made by the brilliant lawyer, Nazario Eguia.

  • Francis Newport and the Peninsula War

    Francis Newport and the Peninsula War

    Francis Newport and the Peninsula War By Mark Wareham, updated 2nd August 2013 An officer (left) and private in the uniform of the 40th Regiment as it was in 1812. Francis would have looked exactly like the private pictured here, with his British redcoat, grey trousers and carrying the ‘brown bess’ flintlock musket. From Wikipedia. 1 Introduction In mid-2011 I discovered online a list of soldiers of the 40th Regiment of Foot who were not Chelsea pensioners but who were awarded medals for having served in the Peninsula War of 1808 to 1814. On that list I found the name of my great x 4 grandfather Francis Newport (abbreviated to Fra’s Newport). Francis is my ancestor through my maternal grandmother’s mother Emma Jane (or Emily) Newport. Although there is little detail surrounding this name on the list, it is very likely that the person shown on the regimental list as ‘Fra’s Newport’ is Francis who was born in 1783 at Baltonsborough (shown as ‘Baltonsbury’ on the map below) in Somerset, to Daniel and Mary Newport. It is not a common name (although there was another Francis Newport who was born in about 1781 in Ireland who is living in Bristol by 1841) and a period of service from 1808 to 1814 fits perfectly because he would have been about 25 years old when this campaign started, a good age to become someone to go ‘over the hills and far away’. Francis Newport of Baltonsborough did not marry until 1816, when he was 33, rather late in life for a marriage at the time, and there is no evidence of him being in England or Somerset between his baptism and his marriage.
