Comments
According to Oman's "History of the Peninsular War" this event
can also be regarded as an British victory. Some sources claim an
British victory some claim a french victory.
The objective of Britain was to evacuate the site defeated. And they succeeded in doing so. Here in this list France is
mentioned as victor because it occupied the place at the end.
In February 1998 there was quite a dispute in the discussion forum about
who's victory this was (most voted for France). If you'd like you can
obtain a review/summary of these threads at liechty@access.ch.
Death of Moore.
