Algarve Brigade is not surpassed by any in the army.

«Fourteenth regiment of the line. — The fourteenth regiment of infantry of the line was embodied at Tavira, in Algarve, and Is, I believe, faking it altogether, the finest regiment in the service. When I saw this regiment at Chamusca, in February last, it mustered about two thousand five hundred men, upon parade. The fourteenth has been formed, and altogether organised, by lieutenant-colonel Le Mesurier of his majesty's twenty-first regiment. I have already observed that this regiment forms, with the second, what it called the Algarve brigade. The men appear in general to be much stronger, and, in my opinion, a more martial race, than the inhabitants of Portugal. They have more of the Spanish than Portuguese character and on that account, I think, make better soldiers; and certainly the Algarve Brigade is not surpassed by any in the army.»

O Regimento de infantaria nº 14, aquartelava em Tavira e formava com o 2º de Lagos a Brigada do Algarve.

Havilland Le Mesurier, era um oficial britanico que ingressou no exercito portugues até a data da sua morte na batalha dos Pirineus em Julho de 1813. Quando ingressou como a Tenente Coronel do Regimento de Tavira referiu: “In the 19th Line regiment seven officers were over sixty, and in one cavalry regiment 'the three eldest cornets [alferes] make up near 180 years.”. Pretendia com esta crítica descrever o Estado envelhecido das unidades portuguesas e incapacidade do quadro de oficiais, velhos e pouco profissionais.

Le Mesurier é citado por JohnGreham em "Wellington´s fighting cocks: the portuguese army in the península" – inserido na obra “The Peninsular War, Aspects of the Struggle for the Iberian Península» ; Staplehurst Spellmount, 1998, p. 174.

Um belo ar marcial.

«The grenadiers of the brigade of Algarve particularly attracted my notice: they were all fine-sized, soldier-like men ; and their brown complexions, black mustachios, and large dark eyes, gave them a truly martial appearance.»

O Regimento de Infantaria nº 2 em «The Royal Military Chronicle» de 1811

«Second regiment of the line - The second regiment of infantry of the line was raised in the small kingdom of Algarve, and embodied at Lagos. It forms one of the most efficient corps in the army; being not only complete in point of numbers, but composed of a very fine body of men, and in the best state of discipline. The second and fourteenth regiments are brigaded together, and form what Is called the Algarve brigade. General Hamilton appears to have paid very great attention to these two regiments; and they also owe a great deal to lieutenant-colonel Le Mesurier, an officer well known in the British army, and who commands the fourteenth regiment. The Algarve brigade is commanded by brigadier-general Fonseca, a very distinguished Portuguese officer. It is attached to the second division of the British army, and behaved with great gallantry at Albuera.»
