About the battle
The Combat of Barquilla (11 July 1810) was a minor skirmish between British and French forces two days after the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo, in which Robert Craufurd attacked French grenadiers covering a foraging party. The French grenadiers, formed in a single square, made a fighting withdrawal, fending off British cavalry and escaping unscathed.
