“A Masterly Manoeuvre, Fuentes de Oñoro 5 May 1811.”
By Christa Hook
French Dragoons trying to break a square of the 95th Rifles, as British cavalry sweep behind them.
Fuentes de Oñoro would see an Allied army under Wellington narrowly defeat a French army led by Massena.
#OTD 3rd-5th May 1811: The Battle of Fuentes D'Onoro.
Probably the closest Wellington came to losing his army in a large scale pitched battle after a dangerous overextension of his right flank was capitalised on by Massena.

Marshal André Massena, Prince of Essling, Duke of Rivoli died #OTD in 1817. A formidable soldier for much of the revolution and empire, defeating Korsakov at Zurich in 1799 and playing a major role at Wagram.
