Sinopsis
From the battlefields to strategic insight, a veteran officer shares the lessons of Waterloo and beyond.
This historical work combines an eyewitness account with Kennedy’s Autobiographical Memoir, offering perspective on cavalry charges, sieges, and the defense of Canada. Readers will encounter firsthand descriptions, strategic reasoning, and reflections on great commanders.
Grounded in the author’s service across the Peninsular War, the text blends dramatic battle narratives with practical military theory. It portrays key moments at Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, and the Waterloo campaign, while also presenting plans for national defense that reflect 19th-century strategic thinking. The tone is measured, aiming to illuminate both the realities of war and the principles of defense that shaped policy.
- Eyewitness detail of cavalry attacks, assaults on fortifications, and siege operations.
- Personal recollections and anecdotes from a long military career.
- Analysis of defense planning for Canada and the importance of fortified positions and logistics.
- Thoughtful commentary on the conduct of war and the judgment of great commanders.
Ideal for readers of Napoleonic history, military strategy, and memoirs that blend action with analysis.

Excerpt from Notes on the Battle of Waterloo
A mere memoir of my services might be considered a piece of egotism; yet I feel myself so placed, since the death of the Duke of Wellington, as to wish that my friends may see a sketch or short record of those services. To solve the difficulty of giving such a sketch a general, interest, I have made it a mere introduction in all its parts to the following subjects of the highest military and general interest, viz.:- First, an instance is given, to serve as example in cases of the charge of a small isolated body of infantry by a superior force of cavalry, neither party having support of any kind. Second, some isolated events of interest which took place at the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajos. Third, the retreat from the field of battle of Quatre Bras to that of Waterloo.
