Synopsis
Twenty-Five Years In The Rifle Brigade by William Surtees. This memoir details Surtees’s long service in the British Army, from his 1798 departure from Northumberland’s militia through campaigns in the Helder, Ireland, Denmark, Germany, Spain, and Portugal, to the Peninsular campaigns culminating in the battles of Bergen, Vittoria, and Toulouse. The work presents vivid field observations, the hardships of winter marches, and the difficulties of supply, discipline, and leadership. It also includes personal reflections on promotion, pay, and the sometimes difficult relations with superiors, as well as episodes of religious awakening and moral struggle. Prefatory notices describe the author’s life, his retirement due to pulmonary illness, and his death in 1830. The appended testimonies from fellow officers underscore his character as a soldier and gentleman. Across its pages the narrative balances brisk, graphic recollections of combat with a frank portrait of a soldier’s devotion to duty and faith.
