Uniforms Of Spanish Units At Talavera

(Spanish Text by José Manuel Rodríguez Gómez, Illustrations by Jose Maria Bueno)

2nd Regiment of Barbastro, Light Infantry

This soldier wears a cloak over his service uniform, of the same cut as the above soldier, but is shown with the same bicorne hat as the line infantry. Almost certainly this was not the appearance of 2nd Regiment of Barbastro at Talavera. The heat would prevent them from wearing the cloak and leggings.
