Has anyone compiled and published a record of the comings and goings of British regiments to and from the Peninsular theatre, arranged chronologically? Somewhere that you could see, for example, which regiments arrived in the Peninsula in the late summer and autumn of 1813, or the spring of 1810? I know that Fortescue and Oman include a good deal of this in their account, but I doubt that they are complete and it takes some hunting.
