About this Item

[1997] Hardcover and Dustjacket. First published in 1830 (now rare), republished in this edition by Leo Cooper; 176 pages including comprehensive Index. Condition of hardcover: lightly toned on top edge, else Fine. Dustjacket is Very Good Plus. This classic account of life on campaign in the Walcheren, Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns between 1809 and 1815 is reproduced as it was published in 1830, only with a reset in a contemporary style. 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. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991. We describe the condition of our books thoroughly and honestly, so you'll know exactly what you will be receiving when you order. We ship promptly.
