"The Worst Scrape" Retreat from Burgos
October/November 1812 by Chris Collingwood. After a major victory at Salamanca (22 July 1812) Wellington occupied
Madrid and then advanced to capture Burgos - unfortunately with
insufficient siege equipment he was compelled to retire and forced to
experience a harrowing retreat, it was, he said "The worst
scrape". However, when the campaigning season ended, Spain, south of
the Tagus, was free of the French.
