Rifleman Thomas Plunket (also sometimes Plunkett) is a legend of the Peninsular War.
During the battle of Cacabelos he famously shot French General Colbert and his aide from a distance which is still debated.
In this short episode, myself and Rob from Britishmuzzleloaders examine Plunket's amazing feat and try to find out once and for all what range these shots were taken and what happened to Plunket after the battle.
