The author, Captain John Kincaid of the 95th Regiment, later to be honored in recognition of its magnificent service under Wellington as a separate corps within the Army, The Rifle Brigade, brings to life the trials of war. Kincaid focuses on his own experiences and the activities of his beloved regiment and the Light Division, of which the 95th formed so important a part. It is a wonderful, factual memoir of the rigors of four years of hardship and danger. Historical, exciting, and adventurous.
