Major-General Robert Crauford (1764-1812) commanding the 1st Flank Brigade (composed of the 1/43rd, 1/52nd and 2/95th), the rearguard protecting the British Army's retreat from Mayorga to Corruna, 1808-9, during the Peninsula War. Marching through mountain passes in the snow, without food, it is the disciplinarian Crauford's leadership that is credited for the success of the retreat. James Princip Beadle (1863-1946), who specialised in military scenes, experienced both the Boer War and the First World War.
