Excerpt from Wellington's Army: 1809-1814
My special thanks are due to my friend Mr. C. T. Atkinson, Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, for allowing me to use the admirable list of the brigade and divisional organization of the Peninsular Army which forms Appendix II. It is largely expanded from the article on the same topic which he printed eight years ago in the Historical Review, and enables the reader to find out the precise composition of every one of Wellington's units at any moment between April, 1808 and April, 1814. I have also to express my gratitude to the Hon. John Fortescue, the author of the great History of the British Army, for answering a good many queries which I should have found hard to solve without his aid. The index is by the same loving hand which has worked on so many of my earlier volumes.

MUCH has been writ,ten concerning Wellington and his famous Peninsular army in the wily of forma.l history: this volume, however, will I think contain somewhat that is new to most students concerning its organization, its day by day life, and its psychology. To understand the exploits of Wellington's men, it does not Buffice to read a mere chronicle of their marches and batt1es. I ha ve endea.voured to collect in these pages notice3 of thoso aspeots of their life with which no strategical or tactical work can deal, though tactics and even strategy will not be found UlUloticed. My special thanks are due to my friend Mr. C. T. Atkinson, Fellow of Exeter Col1ege, Oxford, for allowing me to uso tho admirablo list of the brigade and divisional organization of tile Peninsular Army which forms Appendix II. It is largely expa.nded from the article on the same oopic which he printed f'ight y~'tr8 ago in the H~t
