Featured battle : Ciudad Real
Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars
Date : 27 March 1809
Sabastiani, commanding the French IV Corps had been sparring with the Spanish for a few days. He saw an opportunity and sent his cavalry plus Milhaud's Division of the Reserve Cavalry Corps in against the Spanish cavalry and scattered them. An opportunist but effective move.

The 40mm L/60 automatic anti-aircraft gun was designed in Sweden by Bofors in 1928. It became so successful it was simply known as a 'Bofors gun' and in various guises has been used by many armed forces up to the present. This particular example dates from 1937 and is mounted on the original 4-wheeled light carriage and could achieve120 rounds per minute and a ceiling of 4,600m.

Another superb collection of original material not only from front line troops but also from reserve and support services. See review of Volume VI for an overview of the series.
