Description
After a gap of two years, the 1812 Salamanca
Campaign saw Wellington taking the offensive in
Spain against Marshal Marmont8217sArmy of
Portugal. Marching from the border fortress of
Ciudad Rodrigo which fell to the Allies in
January, neither commander was willing to take
the risk of a general action without a clear
tactical advantage. The result were stand- offs
as Wellington offered battle on the San
Christ243balHeights, but once the
small French-garrisoned forts left behind in
Salamanca fell, Marmont withdrew to the Douro.
For over a week the two armies shared cooling
waters of the river before Marmont 8216hubugged
8217Wellington and fell on the Allied left flank
at Castrej243n Wellington rushed to the aid of
the Light and 4th divisions with the heavy
cavalry. Over the following days Marmont
dexterously maneuvered Wellington back towards
Salamanca, with both armies within cannon shot
still not risking battle.When it seemed
Wellington would have to march back to the safety
of Portugal, Marmont finally made a mistake on
the plains south of Salamanca on 22 July 1812, by
allowing his army to become over extended.
Wellington saw what was happening and after weeks
of marching and counter marching, the battle
the soldiers earnestly hoped for was on.In the
past it has been difficult to place the fighting
on the ground in the center of the Salamanca
battlefield, where 8216vat clouds of smoke
and dust that rolled along the basin8217obscured
vision even for those fighting.
Supplementing their letters, diaries and memoirs
with modern geographical aids, archaeology and a
stout pair of boots, it is now possible to
reconcile the sequence of the battle with
locations, in a way in which it was not feasible
even a few years ago.
