SB xxvi + 386pp, maps, 2002 N&MP Reprint of 1899 Original EditionPublished Price £14.50 One of the best and most justly famous of the many memoirs of a serving British soldier during the Napoleonic Wars. Born in Beverley in east Yorkshire, George Simmons began his military life in 1805 as Assistant Surgeon in the LIncoln Militia. He subsequently joined the 95th Rifles in order to help pay for his younger brothersâ education. Simmons served throughout the thick of the Peninsular War under Wellington, doing his duty as a Rifleman in six campaigns up to 1814, and seeing action at the sieges of Ciudad Roderigo and Badajoz and the battles of Salamanca, Vittoria, and finally of Waterloo. He was thrice severely wounded, but survived to write these memoirs, which were basaed on the letters he sent home to his impecunious but doting parents.

2002. SB. N & M Press reprint. x + 506pp with 16 maps in colour and 8 illus (3 in colour)Published Price £28 The author begins with a very interesting account of the development of rifle fire in the British Army between 1800 and 1815 and describes various European rifle corps, sharpshooters and light infantry that served in British (60th Rifles, later KRRC) and continental armies. The uniform of rifle green with black facings was probably inspired by the dress of continental riflemen. It was certainly a change from the scarlet of the other regiments and that and the uniqueness of the regiment proved quite a draw for recruits to make good the losses following withdrawal from Portugal in 1809. On 10th May 1809 the strength of the 1st Battalion was 1,536 and the 2nd 1,579 and so a 3rd Battalion was formed. The unfortunate 2nd Battalion was involved in the Walcheren expedition August to December 1809 and when our troops evacuated the place battle deaths had amounted to 111, deaths from disease numbered over 4,000. But the main subject in this volume is the Peninsular War in which the regiment played a very active part from beginning to end. All three battalions were involved and seventeen Battle Honours were awarded, the highest number for any regiment in that campaign. The descriptions of operations are in detail, supported by superb maps. Throughout his account the author draws upon contemporary sources, official correspondence, despatches, reports, letters, diaries, reminiscences and on the work of such historians as Fortescue and Oman. In a separate appendix Verner discusses the sources upon which his account is based.

2002. SB. N & M Press reprint. xv + 220pp with 20 illus (5 in colour) and 12 maps in colour Published Price £22 The Rifle Brigade was formed in 1800 by detachments from various regiments as the âExperimental Corps of Riflemenâ initially and then âRifle Corpsâ. It was under this name that the new regiment first made its mark under Nelson in the following year at the Battle of Copenhagen. In 1803 it was designated the 95th (Rifle) Regiment and in 1816, after Waterloo, it was taken out of the numbered regiments of the line and styled âThe Rifle Brigade.â In this first part the author, who served in the regiment, traces the evolution of the Rifle Corps with the advent of the rifle, which replaced the musket, and its effect on tactics. The two principal architects of this new Corps were Colonel Coote Manningham who brought it into existence, and Lt Col William Stewart who organized and trained it. Dress, drill, equipment and armament all feature and the important period spent at Shorncliffe when Sir John Moore, the father of the Light Brigade, commanded the garrison; he was then regarded as â the best trainer of troops England has ever possessed.â The first taste of action came with the Ferrol Expedition in 1800 which had the destruction of the Spanish base. The âExperimental Corps of Riflemenâ contributed detachments numbering 170 under the command of Stewart. They were first ashore on 25th August and it was the only corps in action on that day, which henceforth was celebrated as the birthday of the Regiment. During the next nine years covered in this book the regiment served on many fronts - Copenhagen, Germany, Monte Video, Buenos Ayres and finally the Peninsula where the 2nd Battalion arrived on 12th July 1808 and fought its first action against the French, at Rolica on 17th August. This first part ends with the terrible retreat to and battle of Corunna in January 1809 where Moore âwas struck down by a round shot .the ball carrying away his left shoulder and leaving his arm hanging by the exposed tendons.â Moore died of his wounds that same evening.
