Yesterday, Lt Frederick Wakefield and his cavalry troop had helped capture dozens of French cavalry in a daring dawn attack outside the town of Sahagún-the first major skirmish in the three months they had been on campaign. Today, they are again out in the sleet and snow, searching for signs of the main part of the French army in northern Spain. This trip, they have a small baggage, as well: ten-year-old Lino.
