1/92nd? Were there 2 battalions in the 92nd Foot? Unlikely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk) 11:01, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But true. At that time a British regiment normally consisted of two battalions - the 1st battalion on active service, and the 2nd at home providing replacements for the active battalion. The 2/92nd appears to have been stationed in Scotland (and for a time in Ireland) before being disbanded in 1814. See the Order of Battle for Sir John Moore's Corps here. In the Peninsula here and here. At Waterloo here. And a reference to the 2nd Battalion here. -- dawkeye (talk) 11:22, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

names

The Pass of Maya is on the Route of Santiago de Compostela/Saint James's Way and nowadays it is called by its local name: Otxondo. Maya itself is the town/village at the foot of the Pass and its local and oficial name is Amaiur(in Basque) /Maya (in Spanish). By the way, the battle field was quite long: from the Mondarrain Mountain (Wellington called it Mondarin) up to the Peak of Alkurruntz. The toponym Aretesque used by the English authors doesn't exist. I suppose they misunderstood the name Urrezti/Ourresty that is the mountain/hill close to the Mondarrain/Mondarin and it was where the battle started.85.85.61.179 (talk) 16:13, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

4 guns

There does not seem to be a source for the claim that the british army had 4 guns. Is there any source that says this? Boo1098 (talk) 03:11, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
