Battle of Irún (1837)

The Battle of Irún was the critical battle during the First Carlist War. From the beginning of the war, the city was a Carlist stronghold and remained in their hands until May 18, 1837, when the British Foreign Legion led by Lieutenant-General George de Lacy Evans and supported by the auxiliary forces assaulted and captured the city on the same day.Blumberg, H.
