Discover the epic, untold story of the British regiments that challenged and defeated Napoleon's empire across the globe.
Redcoats to Red Roses: Volume II - 1803 to 1815 is the definitive military history of the forebears of The Queen's Lancashire Regiment (the 30th, 40th, 47th, 59th, 81st, and 82nd Regiments of Foot) during the pivotal Napoleonic War. From the breakdown of the Peace of Amiens in 1803 to the final victory at Waterloo in 1815, these brave soldiers fought on five continents and seas across the world999.
This comprehensive volume vividly recounts their long struggle against Buonaparte's lieutenants, culminating in a clash with the Emperor himself on the field of Waterloo10. Follow the extraordinary journey of the $40^{th}$ Foot, one of just three regiments who fought throughout the entire six-year Peninsula War in Spain, Portugal, and the South of France, and the only one of those to also take part in the crowning victory of Waterloo11
Inside, you will find detailed, battalion-level accounts of major campaigns and more than fifty battles and sieges12, including:
- The War of the Third Coalition and the Battle of Maida13131313.
- The South America Campaign, including the Storming of Montevideo14.
- Roliça, Vimeiro, and the legendary Retreat to Corunna15151515.
- The desperate Defence of Portugal behind the Lines of Torres Vedras16161616.
- The bloody Sieges and Storming of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz17171717.
