Contradictory Label
I do not know enough about the subject of this article to correct this issue. It appears that this part of the section is contradictory:
"With his small army, Murray defeated Marshal Louis Suchet at the Battle of Castalla on April 13, 1813. Though Suchet was outnumbered two-to-one and the battle was largely won by the British infantry,"
How can Murray's "small army" manage to outnumber Suchet's?
Antelope In Search Of Truth (talk)
Murray commanded 18,000 men while Suchet had about 8,000. Technically, Suchet commanded a corps of two small divisions. Suchet very aggressively attacked Murray and was driven off with heavy losses. (I plan to write a Castalla article soon.) There are a few things in this article I'm not happy with. I'll try to make it more clear. Djmaschek (talk) 04:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
It's fixed now and I took the liberty of removing the contradict tag. BTW: I changed court-marshalled to court-martialed. Either one or two Ls are correct according to the American Heritage dictionary. Djmaschek (talk) 04:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
