Very nice and interesting article, congratulations author :) I think I've spotted two minor errors, but being new to Wikipedia, I don't yet dare make any changes myself:

  • In the last paragraph of Retreat to Coruña, it says he was mortally wounded. Surely this means that he died of his wounds!!! As he lived to a ripe old age, should 'mortally' not be deleted or changed to 'badly' or something?
  • In 1812 he was awarded a pension of 9d day. Then in 1849 it was increased to ... 9d day. Is this a typo?

  • The "mortally wounded" refers to General Moore, as I have now made more clear, while the double reference to the 9d pension was based a mis-reading of Green's text on my part. What it actually says is his pension was 9d for 40 years, before it was increased to 1s. I've fixed it now. Thanks. dawkeye 21:23, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
