British Army Strength Returns for 1811

Does anyone have the complete returns for the British forces under Wellington in December 1811?


I have partial returns and am aware of Andrew Bamford's spreadsheets on the Napoleon Series. I am looking for the complete returns that includes all the notes. I know they are available at the National Archives in Kew and I am trying to avoid a trip there. Thanks.

It is so overdue for a scholarly, dispassionate examination that I've zero doubt that you would add something very useful indeed. There are some knotty problems though, not least the extent of British losses in the campaign; and, of course, all the politics around Moore's appointment and political reaction to the campaign which influenced the way the Vimiero Campaign was viewed and the debate over the Cintra Enquiry played out.
