Comment

The Battle of Bidasoa (or Battle of La Rhune) was fought on October 7, 1813, between the Allied armies under Arthur Wellesley and the Napoleonic army under Jean-de-Dieu Soult, as part of the Peninsular War. The Allies break through the French lines behind the Bidassoa, near La Rhune (Pyrenees). (Source : www.wikipedia.org)
