Thank you Santiago, about Betthoven. I have listened to the Wellington's Victory by Beethoven with its sections of the National Anthems of the British and the French, and folksong. I enjoy Beethoven's music very much along with other similar serious music composers.
Regards,
Bill

by: Santiago Soler

Curiously,Ludwig Van Beethoven composed the op.91 "Wellingtons Sieg",in honour of the same battle,and 38 Brittish Regiments show the name "Vitoria" on their flags.

Good to have your comment and appreciation, Santiago.

Yes, it was very interesting to me also to read about the famous battle and to realise how many troops took part along with the British including many from Spain. The importance also of the outcome of the battle was also significant in stopping Napoleon desires to expand etc.

Best wishes,
Bill
