During this period, the outcome of the war was effectively decided by WellingtonÆs advance from Portugal into Spain. The operations that took place at this time included the French campaigns of late 1811, the Allied offensive, and WellingtonÆs great victory at Salamanca. Other notable actions included that at Garcia Hernandez, and there were also smaller operations such as those on the east coast of Spain. Orders of battle, lists of strength and casualties, and an account of WellingtonÆs intelligence officer and code-breaker Sir George Scovell, whose efforts contributed greatly to WellingtonÆs plans of campaign, are given in the appendices to this volume.
