18 August 1813 – Leon Campaign – Day 9


Soult orders his army to concentrate in front of Leon
All four corps have to move to do so
As a result they cannot resupply nor receive battle replacements
However they are now in a strong defensive position

Wellington devotes the day to reorganising his supply base
His four corps rest, resupply and receive battle replacements
17 brigade is ordered to move depot at Trabazos to Sanabria
18 brigade is ordered to move depot at Zamora to Benevente
This completes the supply reorganisation and he can now advance north
