Synopsis
Recollections Of The Peninsula by Moyle Sherer is a first-person memoir of a British army officer who served as a regimental officer in the Peninsular War from 1809 to 1812. The narrative details his experiences traveling through Portugal and Spain after leaving England in 1809, describing Lisbon, Belem, Cintra, and Madrid, as well as battles and sieges such as Talavera, Albuera, Badajos, and Vittoria. The tone blends battlefield reportage with meditations on discipline, courage, and the humanity of soldiers and civilians. Sherer reflects on the written culture of the era, the interactions with Portuguese peasants and Spanish guerrillas, and the daily life of camps, bivouacs, and marches across Estremadura, Castile, and Andalusia. The work also contemplates the political dimensions of the war, the role of guerrilla warfare, and the fluctuating fortunes of Wellington’s campaigns. The memoir presents a vivid portrait of the hardships and heroism of ordinary soldiers and the enduring endurance of a nation at war.
