    Thanks I have fixed those references now. Blame Google-Translate mistranslating "Almeida" as "Adams" (it also translates Lisboa as London!).

    Quero deixar aqui o meu agradecimento ao Sr. Manuel Ribeiro Rodrigues por se ter dado ao trabalho de partilhar todo este conteúdo que faz parte da nossa história. Refiro ainda que estou a desenvolver um projeto em 3D sobre a Guerra Peninsular e que estas imagens me ajudarão imenso na tarefa de retratar fielmente o exército da nossa nação. Um bem haja!
