The Allies under Wellington are poised on the border of France to cross the Pyrenees and finally carry the fight to Napoleon on ‘sacred French soil’. San Sebastian and Pamplona continue to hold out and the former has to be taken by siege for which young Willoughby Carr has volunteered to become a member of the ‘Forlorn Hope’.
Meanwhile his elder brother, Henry continues to run and lead his beloved 105th, first pursuing the wreck of the French defeat at Sorauren, then witnessing the doomed French attempt to relieve San Sebastian. Finally it comes, they form part of one of the many columns that descended from the Pyrenees to advance deep into France and menace Bayonne. Willoughby Carr’s 16th Light Dragoons are heavily involved in the battle of Barrouillet, which was part of the French offensive alongside the River Nive to push the Allies back to the mountains.
