Vimiero:D, 21 August 1808, a most impressive first victory by Wellesley in Spain that was frustrated in part by a ‘stop’ order given by Sir Harry Burrard, an officer senior to Wellesley, who had arrived from England and taken command. The battle proved convincingly that the feared French column was far from invincible. Dalrymple and Burrard stupidly accepted Junot's capitulation on terms that he and his army be repatriated to France by the British fleet. The resulting British outrage caused Wellesley to be recalled to England for an enquiry that ultimately exonerated him, but in the meantime Moore had fought the retreat to La Corunna and been killed.
