The second instalment in a remarkable three-part study that transformed the research material available to the English-speaking student of the Peninsular War.
Most know that Wellington''s Portuguese troops were praised as the ''fighting cocks'' of his army; fewer appreciate that they represented between half and one-third of his entire forces. René Chartrand''s primary research in Portuguese and British archives now offers a wealth of important new material on the uniforms of these troops.
This second volume covers the light infantry, cavalry, specialist corps and several supporting military and civilian departments
