In 1812 - 1813, Captain Charles Gray, 3rd Battalion 95th Rifles, was sent to the Alicante Region of Spain to recruit Spaniards into the 95th Rifles.
Does anyone know where this region was? I think it was in what is now Estremadura, but cannot find it on a map.
I am fairly sure it is not the city of Alicante, which is on the east coast of Spain.
Thanks!
