Abstract
The captain Moyle Sherer was one of the many British military officers who wrote their experiences during the Peninsular War, in a book published in 1823, with several reeditions. His work gives a note of originality in this kind of literature, because it moves away the main stream of chauvinism in its time and it offers a more favourable view of Spaniards and Spanish war effort.
