Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Diaries, memoirs, and letters by officers of the Napoleonic era abound, but there are few reminiscences by common foot soldiers. This extraordinarily vivid and entirely authentic report by British rifleman Benjamin Harris offers rare glimpses of life among the enlisted men. Harris's personal anecdotes, brimming with ready wit and memorable descriptions, tell of military life from the bottom up: the soldiers' camaraderie amid physical hardships and inadequate supplies and equipment, their endemic drunkenness and frequent hunger, the terrible punishments meted out for even small infractions, and the narrow margin between death and survival. In the mid-1830s, Harris was working as a London cobbler when he met a former British Army officer who asked him to recount his wartime experiences. A natural storyteller with a remarkable tale to tell, Harris recalled his years of active service, which began in 1803 when he joined the 95th Regiment of Foot in Ireland and were followed by campaigns from 1808 to 1809 in Portugal and Spain. First published in 1848, this memoir was neither popular nor well received during Harris's lifetime, but since its rediscovery in the early twentieth century, it has become one of the most valuable documents of the Peninsular War. AUTHOR: Benjamin Harris (17811858) was a rifleman in the English army, fighting against Napoleon in the European wars that culminated with Napoleon's loss at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. By the time of Waterloo, Harris had endured many campaigns and had been forced by illness to leave the Army and return to England to ply his trade as a shoemaker. He had joined the 95th Regiment of Foot in 1803, serving first in Denmark and then in 180809 in Portugal and Spain. Back in England, Harris encountered a former British Army officer and prolific novelist named Henry Curling (180364), who recorded Harris' memories of his life as a soldier and created this unique text from those accounts. Rare account of army life by common British foot soldier in early 1800s recounts camaraderie among infantrymen, physical hardships, endemic drunkenness and frequent hunger, and the narrow margin between death and survival.

Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Thus. THE RECOLLECTIONS OF RIFLEMAN HARRIS as told to Henry Curling. Edited and Introduced by Christopher Hibbert. Leo Cooper, London 1970 First thus ISBN 0850520053 128pp Hardback. This copy is in fine unmarked condition, bright, white, tight and square. The unclipped dust wrapper has some rubs and one very small closed tear but is otherwise fine. Rifleman Harris' recollections of life in Wellington's peninsular army offers a deep insight into the affairs of the common soldier during the Napoleonic wars. The commentary is not that of a well to do officer, telling of dances and fine dinners, but focuses on the far from romantic realities of campaigning. We hear of personal incidents and some amusing stories are recounted but the strength of the narrative lies in its immediacy and it is easy to see that the subjects want nothing more than an end to the continuing campaign. Told to an officer some years later who transcribed Harris' story, there is a refreshingly gritty reality to the narrative which at times seems to have more in common with the Bernard Cornwell Sharpe novels than with an historic account. Indeed the rifleman Harris of Cornwell's novels may owe much of his character to this hard fighting soldier Ref FF2.
