Re your fascinating piece concerning detached British light companies in the Peninsular. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labour, and this is especially topical for me just now as I have been debating this issue with a war gaming friend. I was aware that this happened during the campaign that resulted in Maida, but had not appreciated that this was a fixed practise in the Iberian Peninsula as well. This will inform not only my reading, but my gaming as well!
Regards
Ian
