Fragments of Napoleonic War Dispatches and Battle Losses
A chaotic column of OCR text details British and Portuguese losses from the May 1811 battles near Badajoz and Albuera. It includes casualty tallies by unit, officers wounded or killed, and a June 2 1811 Downing Street bulletin. Messages mention Wellington, Beresford, Gazan, and Gagan, with notes on wounded, missing, and strategic movements across Spain.
