I'm currently revisiting data from some morning states for the Anglo-Portuguese in the Peninsula that I transcribed well over a decade ago when I was working on my PhD; unfortunately, I've managed to misplace the reference for where I transcribed them from, and I never ended up following them up for my thesis so it's no good looking there. It was definitely TNA at Kew, and I have found an old email to my then-supervisor which indicates that they were from the WO1 series. I am hoping that this might ring a bell with someone.
The states are for the following dates:
1811 - 23 July, 25 August, 28 September, 13 October, 22 November, 7 December
1812 - 22 January, 24 February, 13 March, 31 May, 24 June, 12 July, 27 August, 24 September, 23 October, 29 November, 6 December
1813 - 31 January, 28 February, 28 march, 25 April, 30 may, 29 June, 16 July, 22 August, 24 September, 29 October, 25 November, 30 December
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Hi Andrew, I looked at morning and weekly states for Wellington's army around the time of Salamanca as part of a successful effort to discern casualty rates among drummers (most casualty figures don't list them separately). These were in WO1/255, https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C2489180
and are also quoted by Rory Muir in his Salamanca book. I expect they are part of a series giving comparable info over a longer time frame.
However, the dates of the returns I photographed (8 July, 15 July 1812; 25 July report of Salamanca casualties) don't line up with the dates you mention in the post above.
