(Subject: European Conflicts & The Napoleonic Wars) The letters and journals of two Napoleonic Hussars, Major Edwin Griffith and his nephew, Captain Frederick Philips, young Welsh cavalry officers who served for much of the Napoleonic Wars with the 15th (King's) Hussars. Their service ranged from the memorable victory at Sahagun, to the dreadful retreat through the icy winds and snow to Corunna. They returned to Wellington's army in Portugal in 1813 and participated in his great advance through Spain and into France itself, seeing combat at the battles of Vittoria, Roncesvalles and Toulouse, and finally at the final great battle of Waterloo when one of them fails to come safely through.

The unclipped dustwrapper is in mint condition International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This is the story of two young Welsh cavalry officers who served for much of the Napoleonic Wars with the 15th (King's) Hussars. Major Edwin Griffiths and his nephew, Lieutenant Frederick Phillips, wrote home regularly, and they were not afraid to voice their true feelings about their situation or colleagues and superiors in their private correspondence. The book is a thoroughly researched and engaging history of the 15th Hussars throughout the wars, crammed full of interesting asides regarding the life and loves of a cavalryman in the Napoleonic age. As you read this book, you will learn to care passionately for these gregarious young men, partake in their exertions, share their joy, but also feel their pain when one of them fails to come safely through the final great battle, Waterloo.

Hardback. Condition: Mint. Dust Jacket Condition: Mint. First Edition. AN ELOQUENT SOLDIER The Peninsular War Journals of Lieutenant Charles Crowe of the Inniskillings 1812-1814 Gareth Glover (Editor) Frontline Books, Barnsley. 2011First Edition ISBN 9781848325937 334pp Illustrated Hardback. This mint unread copy is bound in cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine, tight, white, bright and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in mint condition. Lieutenant Charles Crowe's journal of the 27th Foot (Inniskillings) of the final campaign of Wellington's army is a rare work for many reasons. It is, perhaps surprisingly, the first memoir about this campaign from this famous regiment to be published. Crowe wrote a daily journal at the time, which practically guarantees the authenticity and accuracy of his account. But what makes it special is that Crowe was extremely well read and was an accomplished writer, so that when he wrote up his journal in 1842-3, he was able to embellish his basic journal, describing his thoughts, actions and words in beautiful detail. He thus turned his record of his short army career into a masterpiece of journalism. Clearly written purely for the enjoyment of his family, Crowe does not pull his punches: he censures officers both junior and senior; he talks openly of the ravages of war, and the pillaging, raping and looting; the horrors of war, describing the deaths and horrific wounds of many in lurid detail, the cowardice and stupidity; and he also describes the mundane in detail - nothing is passed over. Crowe is an invaluable source to military historians on many levels, and his journal will stand proudly - deservedly - in the pantheon of great military memoirs. Ref OO4.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in black cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in as new condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. The British archives of the Napoleonic wars are unique, they are brimming with personal letters to family and friends or journals that record their innermost thoughts. The human aspect of war comes to the fore, the humour and exhilaration; the fears and miseries; the starvation and exhaustion; the horror and the joy. It is usually accepted that very few common soldiers of this period could read or write and that the few letters and journals that do exist emanate from more senior officers, who were required to be able to write to perform their duties. Volume I proved this to be a fallacy, and this volume continues with a further three accounts, and show how the ordinary soldier saw things, giving a different aspect to our studies. Also included: * The poignant final letters of older family men such as Major Arthur Heyland jar noticeably with the bawdy and carefree scribbles of youth by such as Ensign Kinchant (including describing his visits to bordellos) who also lost his life that day. * A long series of letters by Lieutenant Frederick Johnston of the 6th Inniskillings and of Lieutenant George Blathwayt of the 23rd Light dragoons sheds important light on cavalry regiments who have few previously published memoirs. * A very interesting letter by Second Lieutenant Richard Cocks Eyre of the 2nd Battalion 95th Rifles makes a mockery of the myth that British troops did not openly plunder the local farmhouses before the battle for food and fuel to burn. *A letter by a civilian visitor to the area six weeks after the battle ends this volume, which will engage and fascinate the reader.

*Sales/posting to the USA suspended*. Hard cover dust wrapper 310pp b&w plates. Near fine. Colonel Sir George Ridout Bingham wrote numerous letters home from the campaigns that he fought with Wellington in the Peninsular when he was commanding his Regiment. He was therefore in a senior position and privy to secrets of the war. He is often caustic regarding his superiors including The Iron Duke himself. He packs his letters (which cover the Peninsular, the 1809 Campaigns, those of 1810-12 and operations in 1813) with interesting descriptions of the life and his surroundings. Once Waterloo was won and Napoleon defeated and captive, Bingham was selected to accompany him on his journey on HMS Northumberland to final exile at St Helena. There he remained with his captive until relieved by another officer (Sir Pine-Coffin) in 1818. The journal and letters for this period is full of fascinating descriptions of the deposed Emperor and the habits of him and his staff.…
