Image description

A view of the storming and taking of Badajoz in Spain on 6 April 1812. Coloured woodcut published by G Thompson, 11 May 1812. If the British and their allies were to push the French out of Spain, they would have to capture the frontier fortress of Badajoz which controlled the southern route from Portugal into Spain. After a lengthy bombardment to breach the fort’s thick walls an attack by escalade (scaling the walls on ladders) was launched. After suffering heavy loses the attackers eventually secured the breach and thanks to their greater numbers overwhelmed the French defenders. The town was then looted in an orgy of violence. Hundreds of Spanish civilians were killed by the Allied troops after the battle
