- A Troop, Captain H. D. Ross, which had arrived in Portugal in July 1809. [Present-designation, ‘A Battery,’ R.H.A.]
- I Troop, Captain R. Bull, which had arrived in August 1809. [Present designation, ‘I Battery,’ R.H.A.]
There was also present in Lisbon the skeleton of D Troop, Captain G. Lefebvre. [Present designation, ‘V Battery,’ R.H.A.] But this unit had suffered from perils of the sea: a transport carrying part of its officers and men had been driven ashore on Ireland; and the portion which arrived in March 1810, being incomplete and almost horseless, was not sent to the front. It lent some men to the other two R.H.A. batteries: the rest were employed in the Lisbon Forts.
Royal Foot Artillery[666].
Two batteries served in the Bussaco campaign, viz.:—
- 6th Company, 7th battalion, Captain G. Thompson, which had arrived in March 1809. [Present designation, 18th Battery, R.F.A.]
- 7th Company, 8th battalion, Captain R. Lawson, which had arrived in September 1808. [Present designation, 87th Battery, R.F.A.]
There were also present in the Peninsula, but not in the Bussaco campaign:—
- 1st Company, 4th battalion, Captain J. Hawker [now 72nd Company, R.G.A.].
- 10th Company, 8th battalion, Captain P. Meadows [an extinct unit].
Both of which arrived at Lisbon in October 1810, and waited in the Torres Vedras Lines for the retiring army, having come too late for the field operations. Also
- 1st Company, 8th battalion, Bt.-Major A. Bredin [now 27th Battery, R.F.A.].
- 2nd Company, 1st battalion, 2nd Captain H. Baynes [now 2nd Battery, R.F.A.].
- 10th Company, 5th battalion, Captain F. Glubb [now 48th Company, R.G.A.].
All of which had arrived in 1808-9. But Baynes’s battery had not taken the field since Talavera, and Bredin’s and Glubb’s [both incomplete] had not gone to the front in 1809 or in 1810. They had all lain within the Lines since the winter of 1809-10.
