Wednesday 25th March 2020 - The Peninsular War with Des Cummins 

The Peninsular War was the only time that British Troops fought Napoleon on land in Europe. The campaign from 1807 to 1814 was dubbed the Spanish Ulcer by Napoleon for tying down as many as 350,000 troops and was a major contributor to his disastrous defeat in Russia. We examine Arthur Wesley’s strategy and the building of the Lines of Torres Vedras. Wesley was born in Dublin in April 1769 at Merrion St. 

Time: 19:30hrs sharp in the Drawing Room followed by the Military History Group’s Annual Dinner. Cost €40 per person for set three course dinner. Members and their guests welcome. Bookings in advance to catering@riyc.ie or online.
