It is mentioned with fondness in the memoirs of Sir John Kincaid. ‘Castle Sarrazin is a respectable little town on the right bank of the Garonne; and its inhabitants received us so kindly, that every officer found in his quarter a family home.’‘Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, T & W Boone, London, 1867, page 304
