Battle plans. Smith (Malcolm), The Action of Vimiero, circa 1808, pen and watercolour manuscript battle plan of the battle of Vimeiro, occasional marginal closed tears, 540 x 510 mm The battle of Vimeiro was a resounding victory for General Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) against the French during the Peninsular war; fought in Portugal near Lisbon. Its significance was that it effectively ended the first French invasion of Portugal. Captain Malcolm Smith of the 83rd (County of Dublin) regiment whose signature appears lower right, appears to be the author of the map but it is an historical observation as his regiment did not arrive in Portugal until April 1809, some seven months after the battle.
