Of these the following, with a strength of 11,500 men, were present at Ucles,

| ” | 1st Division | 2,804 |
| ” | 2nd ” | 1,917 |
| ” | Reserve | 1,634 |
| ” | Cavalry | 1,814 |
| ” | Sappers | 383 |
| ” | Artillery | 100 |
| Total | 11,500 | |
There is a discrepancy between this total and the numbers borne in the battalions above. It is caused by the fact that Irlanda, Ordenes Militares, and Tiradores de Cadiz were not complete on the battle-morning, but had companies detached.
