A history of the 'Fighting 3rd', formation to Toulouse. |
| (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg254.imageshack.us%2Fimg254%2F8316%2Fwalkingi.png&hash=0b4a5bee4e2d0d162d12883bea9a605d49753a29) | The Third Division of the British army was formed in the year 1809 by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington to supplement the Anglo-Portuguese army. Placed under the command of Sir Thomas Picton the division soon gained the moniker of 'The Fighting 3rd'. The third incidentally contained three brigades. The 1st Brigade was commanded by one Major General Thomas Brisbane, this brigade contained the 1/45th Nottinghamshire, 74th Highland, 1/88th and 3 Coys 5/60th Royal American regiment of foot. Command of Pictons 2nd Brigade was given to Major General Charles Colville with 1/5th Northumberland Fusiliers, 2/83rd Dublin, 2/87th Prince of Wales Irish and the 94th Regiment of Foot. Powers Portuguese Brigade however was a much more motley affair with the the 9th and 21st foot and the 1th Cacadores. It is an unfortunate truth however, that Wellesley never bestowed upon Picton the confidence shown to Beresford, Hill and Crauford. Nevertheless Picton earned a fine reputation of being extremely punctual and extremely thorough, never deviating from his set orders yet always following them to his best ability, to the letter. An example of Pictons stern attitude was an event on the river Coa in July 1810. Craufords foolishly got his division involved in an action against the French, Crauford had found himself surprised by Marchal Neys division of 20,000. Crauford decided to fight regardless of being hopelessly outnumbered with an unfordable river at his back. Picton, being closest with the 3rd stalwartly refused to assist in keeping with Wellesleys orders of avoiding engagement. It was not however until the battle of Busaco in September of the same year. Here he had a plain duty, that of repulsing the French attack, and he performed that duty with a skill and resolution, which indicated his great powers as a troop-leader. A few months later Picton and the third once again excelled at the Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro, Here the 3rd Division with some of the 1st Division pushed forward in a counter attack after the French ousted them from the town and successfully pushed forward until the French were forced back from the town. This final effort secured the British victory by plummeting French morale. In the first operations of 1812 Picton and Craufurd, side by side for the last time, stormed the two breaches of Ciudad Rodrigo, Craufurd and Picton's second in command, Major-General Henry Mackinnon, being mortally wounded. At Badajoz, a month later, the successful storming of the fortress was due to his daring self-reliance and penetration in converting the secondary attack on the castle, delivered by the 3rd Division, into a real one. He was himself wounded in this terrible engagement, but would not leave the ramparts, and the day after, having recently inherited a fortune, he gave every survivor of his command a guinea. His wound, and an attack of fever, compelled him to return to Britain to recoup his health, but he reappeared at the front in April 1813. While in Britain he was invested with the collar and badge of a Knight of the Order of the Bath by the Prince Regent George, and in June he was made a lieutenant-general in the army. At the Battle of Vitoria, Picton led his division across a key bridge under heavy fire. According to Picton, the enemy responded by pummeling the 3rd with 40 to 50 cannon and a counter-attack on their right flank (which was still open because they had captured the bridge so quickly) causing the 3rd to lose 1,800 men (over one third of all Allied losses at the battle) as they held their ground. The conduct of the 3rd division under his leadership at the battle of Vittoria and in the engagements in the Pyrenees raised his reputation as a resolute and skilful fighting general to a still higher point. Early in 1814 he was offered, but after consulting Wellington declined, the command of the British forces operating on the side of Catalonia. He thus bore his share in the Orthez campaign and in the final victory before Toulouse. On the break-up of the division the officers presented Picton with a valuable service of plate, and on 24th June 1814 he received for the seventh time the thanks of the House of Commons for his great services. Somewhat to his disappointment he was not included amongst the generals who were raised to the peerage. The 'Fighting 3rd' did indeed find itself at Waterloo, albeit under a new commander and with none of the same regiments. | (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg401.imageshack.us%2Fimg401%2F6301%2Fmarching.png&hash=62d117728f5598b634c33e3a5fad3dfaae8535cb) |

No it doesn't, at least it's not something on the table. And we will indeed. We also hope to start hosting our own event.

Not many days until we SMASH the 5th brigade in glorious combat ;)
Very good battle, Gents. Definitely need another in the foreseeable future.
Thanks for the warm welcome brosephs!hugs.exe :-*
After a quite frankly horrific event in which the Division was humiliated I have decided to step down as ADC and with it I will no longer administrate the Monday event nor organise events against other armies. I will also not administrate this thread at all.
With one regiment not showing up, another doing so barely and a ridiculous amount of rule breaking from one other regiment during the event I simply do not feel that if some of you are not willing to just come to an event then why should I organise them?
There will never be a rematch against the army with which we should have fought today as they are not willing to play an event with some of the regiments that were and even more importantly weren't present tonight.
I have enjoyed my time in the Division up to now, but clearly things aren't as they should be.
Goodbye, James Grant. Ex-Aide de Camp.
You were right Jezza on steam, ppl dont care :-\
