This expedition, led by Sir Francis Drake and John Norreys raided Corunna but withdrew from Lisbon after failing to coordinate its strategy effectively with the Portuguese. |
Five minutes after, the commander called the second lieutenant, who returned immediately, ordering the head to be put towards Corunna. |
When it stopped outside his home in Corunna Place, Bridge of Don, she fell out. |
Corunna stands on a peninsula, having on one side the sea, and on the other the celebrated bay, generally called the groyne. |
Subsequently under Sir John Moore, he took part in the retreat to Corunna and the final battle there. |
There are to be seen, too, the miradores, glazed frontages for which corunna is celebrated. |
