Beschreibung

The news of Wellington's momentous victory at Vitoria on 21 June 1813 reached London in early July. His Majesty's Government gave authority for Wellington to invade France and made noises and plans for the redeployment of the Peninsular Army in support of Russia and Prussia. Wellington, however, did not see things in quite the same way.
