Story of the Peninsula War Hero Leckinaki
In Murat’s Madrid era a Polish lancer Leckinaki volunteered for a dangerous mission to Lisbon carrying Russian dispatches. Captured and subjected to brutal questioning, he maintained German and Russian speech, endured dungeons and threats, and was finally freed after Castagnos recognized the danger of a wrongful verdict, praising the young officer’s steadfast honor.
