The loss of the British amounted to six thousand in killed, wounded, and missing; that of the French was much more considerable. The loss sustained by _the second battalion of the_ EIGHTY-SEVENTH _regiment_ consisted of one officer and one hundred and ten men killed, and thirteen officers and two hundred and thirty men wounded: total three hundred and fifty-four; strength in the field, eight hundred and twenty-six, leaving a remainder of four hundred and seventy-two. _Killed._ Ensign—Nicholas la Serre. _Wounded._ _Major_—Hugh Gough, _severely_ (on 28th July). _Captain_—Rawdon McCrea, _slightly_ (_since dead_). ” Anthony William Somersall, _slightly_. _Lieutenant_—W. G. Cavanagh, _severely_. ” Richard Thos. Hingston, _died of his wounds_. ” Ralph Johnson, _severely_. ” John D. Bagenal, _arm amputated_. ” James Carroll, _severely_. ” Adam Rogers, _severely_ (on 28th July). _Ensign_—Theobald Butler, _severely_. ” Theobald Pepper, _severely_ (on 28th July). ” Wright Knox, _severely_. ” James T. Moore, _slightly_. Acting Serjeant-Major Paterson was promoted to an ensigncy for good conduct in this action, and Quartermaster-Serjeant Cowell was shortly afterwards promoted also to an ensigncy for length of service and gallant conduct. The EIGHTY-SEVENTH subsequently received the royal authority to bear the word “TALAVERA,” on the regimental colour and appointments, in commemoration of the conduct of the second battalion on that occasion. The junction of the divisions of Marshals Soult, Ney, and Mortier, in the rear of the British, compelled them to fall back on Badajoz. On the 10th of September, the second battalion of the EIGHTY-SEVENTH regiment received orders to repair to Lisbon, where it arrived on the 24th; and two strong detachments having arrived from England, and a number of wounded men joining from the hospitals, the battalion was again reported fit for service. [Sidenote: 1810.] On the 5th of February 1810, the battalion embarked at Lisbon for _Cadiz_, and disembarked there on the 12th, which city was at that time besieged by a powerful French army, under Marshal Soult. The whole of this year the battalion was employed in erecting batteries, and strengthening the defence of the place, during which the battalion lost several men. Lieut.-General Thomas Graham (afterwards Lord Lynedoch) commanded the British forces in Cadiz, and an expedition was resolved upon for the purpose of making a combined attack on the rear of the blockading army under Marshal Victor, who now commanded at the siege of Cadiz, in consequence of Marshal Soult having proceeded with a body of troops into Estremadura. [Sidenote: 1811.] On the 18th of February 1811, the battalion embarked at Cadiz, and sailed for Gibraltar.
