About this title

Synopsis

An insight into the realities of warfare for the men under the command of the Iron Duke in India and Europe, Wellington's Victories details the lives of the troops who fought in more than sixty battles between 1797 and 1815. Designed to accurately portray conditions of the time. every aspect of the soldier's life is examined, from rates of pay and his life in camp to the small arms and artillery he used in battle. An excellent companion piece to Bernard Cornwell's bestselling series of novels on Richard Sharpe, who joined the 95th Light Infantry Regiment in 1805, this is an engrossing study of Wellington's armies illustrated by the facts, figures and trivia of some of the most important expeditionary forces ever to take the field for Britain.
