⁂ Although the first is not written or edited by Wellington himself, this clearly draws largely from an analysis of his recorded Orders in the second Peninsular campaign between 1809 and 1814. The hundreds of Orders provide a remarkable record of war management in the early 19th century. The editor's dedication to Wellington ("the Illustrious Hero") is dated June 27, 1815, a mere nine days after Waterloo.
