[416] The itinerary of this march in detail may be found in the excellent Diary of Tomkinson of the 16th Light Dragoons.
[417] Foy, who had been drawn away from the Tagus after the affair at Almaraz, had to march from Avila, Clausel from Peñaranda, Ferey from Valladolid, Sarrut from Toro, Maucune and Brennier had been at Salamanca, Thomières came from Zamora. Boyer’s dragoons were at Toro and Benavente, Curto’s light cavalry division had been with Maucune and Brennier at Salamanca. Valladolid, Avila, and Benavente were the most distant points: but the troops from them were all up by the 19th. Nor was it possible for Wellington to interfere with the concentration, though possibly he might have forced Foy from Avila to make a détour, if he had followed Marmont very close.
[418] Nor do we reckon the regiment of Sarrut’s division (130th) permanently detached at Santander.

[424] At any rate Dickson was not, as he was with the howitzers that were coming up from Elvas, and had not started from Rodrigo with the army.
