Hamilton's campaigns with Moore and Wellington during the Peninsular War
Anthony Hamilton (Author)
This ebook is purpose built and is proof-read and re-type set from the original to provide an outstanding experience of reflowing text for an ebook reader. The memoir of another of the hardy and eloquent Irish soldiers that fought in the British army during the Peninsular Wars. Hamilton's memoirs were not intended for a large publication and do not contain the details of camp and campaign life that you might find in such works by Costello, Tomkinson or Kincaid. They are, however, a collection of first rate eye-witness accounts of the battles that Hamilton and his comrades of the 43rd regiment of Foot took part in, or was in a position to offer a close second-hand account of. The list of battles covered encompasses almost all of the major engagements that the British army took part in the Peninsular and 1815 campaign; Rolica, Vimiero, Coruą, Talavera, Busaco, Albuera, Fuentes d'Oǫro, the sieges of Cuidad Rodrigo and Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria and finally Waterloo. A pithy eye-witness account
