James Mudie's provided text for his "National Series" mentions the following regarding this particular medal: "The capture of this fortress, which took place on the 3lst of October 1813, was the concluding event of the war in the west of Spain. Wellington was then hovering on the south-western frontiers of France, which he soon afterwards penetrated, having marched triumphantly from the borders of Portugal, after opening the campaign, without once retrograding."
