WITH WELLINGTON IN THE PYRENEES

After the glorious victory of Vittoria, Wellington followed the retreating French army to the very borders of France itself. The campaign in south-west France in late 1813 and early 1814 was the final campaign of the Peninsular War. An allied army of British, Portuguese and Spanish soldiers under the command of Wellington fought a string of battles against French forces under the command of the able Soult, from the Iberian Peninsula across the Pyrenees and into south-west France ending with the capture of Toulouse and the besieging of Bayonne.
