I wonder if any study has been made of British NCOs who were commissioned into Portuguese service, such as Johann Schwalbach, late of the 5/60th, who was commissioned into the 6th Caçadores after helping General Fane capture a French gun at Vimeiro. He was a corporal and Fane's orderly at the time. He stayed in the Portuguese army after the war, rose to General and was made a viscount.
