In the completion of this last volume I have to make mention of other helpers with whom I was not acquainted when the book was first begun - General Arzadun of the Spanish Artillery, Colonel Olavide of the Spanish Engineers (whose beautiful atlas of the St. Sebastian defences proved most useful), General Teixeira Botelho at Lisbon, author of monographs on the Portuguese Artillery, and General J. C. Dalton, r.a., of Ripon, who put me on the trail of the Giron papers and other Spanish documents.
