This topic has proved extremely popular and NHSA is both privileged honoured to welcome Carole Divall as our speaker for further study of the battle of Vitoria.  Carole Divall has published extensively on the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, especially with reference to the British army in the Peninsula. Her recent works have included “Wellington’s Worse Scrape: The Burgos Campaign 1812” and, most pertinently, the masterly “Wellington and the Vitoria Campaign 1813: Never a Finer Army”.  She has also just published the first comprehensive study of the Fifth Division in the Peninsula “Wellington’s Unsung Heroes: the Fifth Division in the Peninsular War 1810-1814”. A Council Member of the Society for Army Historical Research she must now rank among the outstanding British historians of Wellington’s campaigns in Spain.  The talk will be held at 12 noon on Sunday 9 July 2023 at 24 Kingfisher Court, Newbury RG14 5SJ and will be accompanied and preceded by an exhibition and simulation as with all other NHSA events which will commence at 9.15 am on the preceding day.
