Condición: New. 2007 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1830).

Drawing upon his own campaigning experience, Kincaid provides a vivid eyewitness record of combat, marching, camp life and the character of the celebrated 95th Rifles.His service began with the ill-fated Walcheren Expedition of 1809, where disease inflicted devastating losses. He subsequently campaigned under Wellington in Portugal and Spain, witnessing the Lines of Torres Vedras, the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz, and the victory at Vittoria. He then followed the army across the Pyrenees into France and through the concluding operations around Toulouse.Returning to active service in 1815 as adjutant of the 1st Battalion, Kincaid fought at Quatre Bras and Waterloo.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Rifle Brigade, one of the British Army's crack infantry units, took part in most of Britian's land campaigns in the Napoleonic Wars and this memoir recounts the adventures of a Scottish officer who was there for all of them from Walcheren in 1805 to Waterloo in 1815. The heart of the memoir, however, is the Peninsula War in which Kincaid served under Wellington at the lines ofTorres Vedras, and in the battle of Fuentes d'Onoro, the sieges of Ciudad Roderigo and Badajoz, and the battles of Salamanca and Vittoria. The author describes the pursuit of Marshal Soult across the Pyrenees and the battles of Nivelle and Toulouse. The memoir concludes with the Waterloo campaign in which KIncaid fought at Quatre-Bras and Waterloo itself. This is an invaluable addition to the bookshelves of Napoleonic war addicts, as seen through the eyes of an intelligent writer who seems to have been at the sharp end from first to last.…
