Extra Score. The Peninsula marches were written for the Coldstream Guards Band in celebration of two great battles the regiment was involved in and fought in Spain in the early 19th Century. The battle of Salamanca, fought in 1812, was one of the duke of Wellington's most dramatic victories and this minor key march caputres the turmoil of such a momentous event.
