British force in Vigo siege 1719 report by Major Leviffcher
From Whitehall October 22 1919 comes an account of Lord Cobham's expedition to Vigo Galicia with Vice Admiral Eighells. After landing Grenadiers near the town and establishing guards the army encamped and drew closer to the citadel. Peasants fired from the mountains but caused no serious harm. The town surrendered after Cobham summoned the magistrates and Brigadier Honywood with 800 men occupied Port and Fort St Sebastian as the enemy withdrew to the citadel.
