2/63e Regiment de Ligne - Talavera
« on: 19 February 2016, 07:36:28 PM »
The 63e Ligne made it's debut in the Peninsular War when it provided a battalion to join the 2nd Provisional Line Regiment in Marshal Moncey's Corps that invaded Spain in January 1808.



By July of 1809, the regiment as a whole had taken part in three victorious actions against Spanish forces and could look forward to taking on the Anglo-Spanish forces at Talavera with confidence.

Often it is better to remain silent and let people think you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove all possible doubt.

Thanks Jabba.
Yes the end is in sight, but I am keen to enjoy the journey so the researching of the individual units only adds to that.
It will be fun getting the whole thing out on the table.
